Former Keansburg Teacher, Marlboro Man Sentenced For Child Porn

KEANSBURG, NJ — A former Keansburg middle school teacher was sentenced to three years in prison for distributing child pornography, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office announced. The teacher's Marlboro Township home was raided last year, and child porn was found on his home computers.

Marc S. Marinoff, 31, is a resident of Pear Drive in Marlboro. He has previously pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to three years in prison Friday, and must register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law upon his release.

Marinoff was a teacher at the Joseph R. Bolger Middle School in Keansburg until his arrest, at which time he was suspended from his job and not allowed to return to the classroom. He has not worked in the school district since.

There is no indication any Keansburg student was victimized, or that anything improper occurred on school grounds, the district said.

Marinoff was arrested in 2017 after detectives from the county prosecutor's office executed a search warrant at his home. During the raid, Marinoff's various personal electronic devices were seized. Police said they revealed they had contained child pornography and had child porn distributed from them. A forensic examination of the devices found that Marinoff distributed videos of child pornography via a peer-to-peer file-sharing program – an online connection of computers allowing the sharing of files directly between individual users.

Marinoff is also permanently banned from holding any public employment in New Jersey and has forfeited his current public post as a school teacher.
