MOUNT HOLLY, NJ.- Today, Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced that Seven Registered Sex Offenders Have Been Indicted By A Burlington County Grand Jury, for changing their residences without properly notifying authorities.
Under New Jersey State Law, registered sex offenders who plan to move to a new residence, must notify police in the town where they presently reside about the change and also provide their new address to police in the municipality where they intent to reside. Sex Offenders who relocate to New Jersey from another state must also contact local police and provide their addresses.
The following individuals were indicted on One-Count of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, a crime of The Third-Degree.
Demetris Bean, 42, of Browns Mills; Shawn Harris, 34, of Edgewater Park; Brian Henderson, 37, of Burlington Township; Paul Hollingsworth, 37, of Pemberton Township; Robert Richardson, 43, of Mount Holly; Joseph Singletary, 43, of Maple Shade; and Michael Tedesco, 48, of Reading, Pa.
The municipalities listed for each defendant were the last known addresses on file with authorities, before they moved and failed to provide their new locations.
Harris, Henderson, Singletary, and Tedesco are presently in custody, and lodged in various correctional facilities, on charges unrelated to their failure to register. Bean, Hollingsworth, and Richardson are considered to be fugitives.
Anyone with information as to their whereabouts, is urged to call The Burlington Prosecutor's Office at (609) 265-5053, and ask to speak to a Detective in The Megan's Law Unit. Information can also be submitted electronically to tips@co.burlington.nj.us
