Over a dozen arrested in child porn sweep in New Jersey July 18, 2009

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office announced the arrests of almost two dozen people ranging in age from 14 to 67 for sharing child pornography online.  While one story indicated that this was a fourth degree crime, it is actually a second degree crime.  Thus, I predict that most, if not all of these defendants will plea out to a three or five year sentence,  assuming they have no prior record.

Of course, if any of them actually retains a good attorney, they could avoid prison but it won’t be easy.  Most of these cases never go to trial for a number of reasons, with the primary reason being that most defendants admit to the crime and the secondary reason being attorneys that don’t know anything about these cases and how to defend them. 

According to the prosecutor’s office, those arrested and charged with possession of child pornography are:

Jordan Winczuk, 24, an unemployed single male, of the 100 block of W. Holly Avenue, Oaklyn. He is also charged with distribution, the prosecutor said.

Michael Connelly, 51, a married police dispatcher, of the 1300 block of Elm Avenue in Haddon Township. He is also charged with distribution.
