Freehold NJ Distribution of Child Pornography Attorneys
Monmouth County was at it again this week in what they have deemed “Operation School’s Out”. It was an undercover operation that was geared towards investigating anyone and everyone that was involved in not only the possession but the distribution of child pornography in Monmouth County. According to nj.com, the investigation took place throughout the county over the last three months, with a strong emphasize on anyone distributing child pornography. In all, fourteen men, ranging anywhere from 18 to 69 years old were arrested and charged with the possession and the distribution of child pornography. The arrests took place over the last few weeks. To date, all Defendant’s have made their initial Central Judicial Processing (CJP) hearing and have been released on some form of a bail. In all, three of the Defendant’s are from Middletown and the following towns had one of the Defendant’s calling it home: Long Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean Township, Wall Township, Eatontown, Tinton Falls, Hazlet, Neptune, Red Bank, Freehold and Belmar.
