Gilberto Ortiz Jr., 50, “made sexual advances on the woman while warning her she was involved in a serious case of negligence” during home visits to the woman and her child last month, state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.
Ortiz, a bilingual family services specialist from the Gloucester County town of Woodbury, said he’d “help her” if she had a relationship with him, Grewal added.
He also touched the woman’s breasts and genital area without her consent and pushed her hand against his genitals during a visit, the attorney general said.
Ortiz also “sent her texts including a video of himself masturbating and sexually explicit photos of himself,” Grewal said.
The DCF suspended Ortiz following an investigation by the state Office of Public Integrity and Accountability that produced a criminal complaint charging him criminal sexual contact and misconduct.
Ortiz, who then resigned, was released pending court action.
Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Gilmore is handling the case for the state.
