Between November 2019 and January 2020, Andrew Jennings gave marijuana and alcohol to a child, whose age and gender were not released, Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said in a joint release with local police.

While the child was under the influence, Jennings "engaged in sexual conversations with the purpose to seduce the child, and on at least one occasion, Jennings is alleged to have touched the intimate parts of the child," Knapp said.

Authorities did not say how the child and Jennings knew each other.
