4 Produced Porn In Somerset County – In Front Of 7-Year-Old: SCPO

Four people were charged in New Jersey with producing porn – with a 7-year-old right there, prosecutors said.

During the examination and analysis of the electronic devices, several sexually-explicit photos and videos of the 7-year old victim were located. Criminal complaints were signed against four of the residents of the Somerset County home, according to prosecutors.

On Wednesday, detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, along with detectives from the Franklin Township Police Department arrested the four at their Coburn Lane residence without incident, according to the SCPO.

The four arrested were Sean Allen, 51; Marina Volz (formerly known as Matthew Volz), 30; Ashley D. Romero (formerly known as Adam Romero), 26; and Dulcinea Gnecco, 19, all of Coburn Lane in Franklin Township, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.

They were charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

These arrests were made after a five-month investigation conducted by the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office Sex Crimes/Child Abuse Unit.

In January, the prosecutor's office received a referral from the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency reporting that a 7-year old child was residing in a home on Coburn Lane in Franklin Township where Volz and her roommates were creating pornography, according the SCPO.

On Jan. 28, a search warrant was executed at the residence and prosecutors discovered that the child was residing in the home where a pornography production company existed, exposing the child to sexually-explicit matter, according to the SCPO.

Electronic items, including cell phones and computers, were seized for forensic examination. The child was subsequently removed from the home by the Division of Child Protection and Permanency in January.

They were all transported to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office for processing and later lodged at the Somerset County Jail, pending a detention hearing.
