Burlington County Prosecutor Coffina noted that the charges announced today were not part of any special operation.

The investigations involved the assistance of the Bordentown Township Police Department, the City of Burlington Police Department, the Evesham Township Police Department, the Maple Shade Police Department, the Medford Township Police Department, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and United States Homeland Security Investigations – Cherry Hill Office. Burlington County Assistant Prosecutor Jennifer Weiler will be presenting the charges on each defendant to a Burlington County Grand Jury and handling further prosecution on all defendants.
