Guilherme Jamarino, then an investigator for New Jersey Victims of Crime Compensation Office sent sexually suggestive and inappropriate communications to six victims between December 2019 and July 2022, Attorney General Matthew Platkin said.
The VCCO helps violent crime victims recover by providing financial assistance to victims, their families, and victim-service providers, to help alleviate the economic and emotional burdens of victimization, Platkin said.
Jamarino took advantage of his access to female victims and sent text messages that included nude photographs of himself and requests to meet him in person, Platkin said. Investigators said Jamarino sent one victim a picture of himself shirtless and wearing a towel. He also sent that victim a video of himself from the neck up in the shower.
Another victim received a picture from Jamarino of himself looking in a mirror wearing only a towel and gripping the towel in front of his groin. He also sent a message saying, "Send the address, and I’ll come get you," followed by two heart emojis, Platkin said.
The second victim got more inappropriate messages in the following days including one that said "Send pics, pretty lady. Full body pics if you have any," Platkin said.
Jamarino was also accused of asking several victims to come over to his apartment and in one case, he asked where a woman lived so he could visit her. He also offered to give another victim a massage and sent her a picture of a naked woman receiving a massage, Platkin said.
Investigators also said Jamarino sent several victims photos of himself at a gun range and he sent another woman a picture of himself with guns behind him, despite knowing she was a victim of gun violence, Platkin said.
The victims reported those photos made them fear for their safety, Platkin said.
He faces a seven count indictment, six counts of official misconduct and one count of pattern of office misconduct, Platkin said.
