A recently-hired Jackson school bus driver was arrested and charged with the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse materials, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago announced on Thursday.
Brian R. McBride, 28, of Manalapan, was arrested and charged on Wednesday, Oct. 25, with one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child by distribution of child sexual abuse materials and one count of third-degree endangering the welfare of a child by possession of child sexual abuse materials.
An investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office High-Tech Bureau and members of the Monmouth County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, initiated by a tip received through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, revealed that McBride was in possession of child sexual abuse materials and distributing it via social media.
Convictions of this nature are commonly punishable by terms of up to 10 years in state prison, along with being subject to the provisions of Megan’s Law registration and parole supervision for life.
