Toms River Man Who Taped Child Sexual Assault To Be Sentenced

A Toms River man who pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor, sexually abusing a toddler and streaming footage of the assault over the Internet will be sentenced to prison Thursday.

Rodford W. Brindley of Toms River taped the sexual assault of a 14-month-old he was babysitting, according to the U.S. Attorney Office.

According to the criminal complaint, a special agent with the FBI attests that Brindley sexually assaulted the boy and streamed footage of the alleged attack over the Internet while believing he was speaking to a woman in Ohio who was in fact an undercover detective with the Westerville Police Department.

According to the criminal complaint, Brindley allegedly engaged in masturbation and oral sex with the boy, less than 2 years old, and streamed the act online via a live chat with an undercover officer.
