On Wednesday, Aug. 24, Middletown police arrested Marcus Brady, of Keansburg, on two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, following an investigation of incidents that occurred in Middletown, police said.
Middletown Police were informed by the juvenile victim and a parent that Brady had offered the juvenile money in exchange for the victim exposing intimate body parts, police said.
Brady allegedly made two separate offers to the victim, who declined to do so on both occasions, police said
Chief R. Craig Weber said: “We take crimes of the nature extremely seriously and will spare no effort to apprehend would-be predators seeking to harm innocent children and ensure that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I want to thank the victim and the victim’s family for having the courage to come forward and thank our Detective Bureau for the swift arrest they made in this case.”
Following his arrest, Brady was taken to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in Freehold where he was being held pending a detention hearing.
