CRESSKILL, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A New Jersey couple sent anonymous emails to their son's high school basketball coach in a bid to force him to resign, authorities said.
The Record reported that David and Nanci Kushner are charged with stalking. Their attorney told the newspaper they have pleaded not guilty.
The Cresskill residents, both 49, sent harassing emails to coach Michael Doto and his employers for two years, authorities said. Their son plays basketball at Cresskill High School.

The couple allegedly used two fake email addresses to talk to school officials and the coach on at least four occasions between February 2013 and January of this year.
The emails were an attempt to have the coach "dismissed" from that position and his job as a health teacher.
David Kushner is the founder of an investment firm and also served as the president of the Alpine County Club.
