“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,” said Police Chief R. Craig Weber. “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.”

Brady was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

He’s being held at Monmouth County Correctional Institution while awaiting his trial.
