Based on the reports that have been released, the defendant was allegedly involved in a series of sexually related chats with an individual whom he believed was a thirteen year old girl but turned out to be an undercover detective. The investigation finally came to a head on May 10th when the defendant arrived at a local coffee shop in\u00a0Franklin Township\u00a0under the guise that he was going to finally meet up with the child and engage in a sexual act. However, when the defendant arrived, detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor\u2019s and Franklin Township Police Department were lying in wait and placed him under arrest.The defendant was formally charged with luring in the second degree, attempted sexual assault in the second degree, attempted\u00a0endangering the welfare of a child\u00a0in the third degree and attempted to promote obscene materials in the third degree. After being processed the defendant was taken to the Somerset County Jail, which is located in Somerville where he remains. At his\u00a0central judicial processing hearing\u00a0(CJP) the defendant was formally advised that the prosecution had filed a motion for detention. During the\u00a0detention hearing\u00a0the prosecution will be seeking to convince a judge that the defendant must be detained in the county jail, without bail, pending trial.\u00a0If convicted of either of the second degree crimes (luring\u00a0\/\u00a0sexual assault) the defendant will be facing up to a decade behind bars, a fine not greater than $150,000, Megan\u2019s Law registration as well as Parole Supervision for Life. Since the charges are considered indictable offenses, which is New Jersey\u2019s version of felonies, the charges will be transferred from Franklin Township to the\u00a0Somerset County Superior Court\u00a0for disposition.Luring Defense Lawyer Near Somerville NJAs you can see from reading above, luring charges are not something to take lightly.
