Accusations from the 1970s have been denied by the retired North Warren schools chief.
A date has been set for the second of two trials for a retired New Jersey schools superintendent accused of sex crimes dating back 40 years in Canada.
Brian Fogelson Brian Fogelson, who led the North Warren Regional School District until last year, is to appear March 13 for a two-day trial in Nova Scotia, where he was a teacher when the crimes are alleged to have occurred.
Fogelson -- the 2015 Warren County Superintendent of the Year who retired from North Warren that June -- was charged in May 2015 based on allegations dating between 1975 and 1978. Canadian authorities said they began investigating in 2012 when the first accuser went to police. A second accuser came forward last year.
In the March trial -- which Senior Crown Counsel C. Lloyd Tancock said was scheduled during a hearing last week -- Fogelson is charged with indecent assault on a male, gross indecency with a male and sodomy.
Fogelson's attorney, Stanely McDonald, did not respond to requests for comment.
A separate trial based on the second accuser is planned Jan. 11. In that case, Fogelson is charged with indecent assault and gross indecency on another male. A hearing regarding records access is scheduled for September.

Fogelson also was an administrator at Catasauqua High School and Delaware Valley Regional High School before going to North Warren.
He lived in Blairstown Township while at North Warren. Fogelson moved to Venice, Fla., upon his retirement.
