Union Beach Man Streamed Child Porn

Union Beach, NJ - In addition to the Middletown man who confessed Monday to having child porn images, a Union Beach man pleaded guilty Monday to distributing child pornography, according to the Monmouth County prosecutor’s office.

Joseph Gentile, 43, of Broadway in Union Beach, admitted he streamed a video over the Internet depicting the sexual exploitation or abuse of child. He was arrested in March of last year after the county computer crimes unit got a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

The tip revealed Gentile was streaming a video of child pornography on November 23, 2014, over Omegle, an online video chat service.

He will be sentenced in May to a second-degree conviction of one count of distribution of child pornography. A prison sentence of three years will likely be imposed, said prosecutors.
