Anthony Marano, 29, of Jackson, was arrested after a search warrant and charged with 3rd degree Aggravated Assault, 3rd degree Possession of Child Pornography and 2nd degree Distribution of Child Pornography.
During the arrest, authorities forced entry into Marano’s home where he was found attempting to escape in possession of a loaded semi-automatic handgun. Police were able to arrest Marano without incident.
Marano was later released and FREE TO GO after his first appearance under NJ Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.

Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and Jackson Township Police Chief Matthew D. Kunz announced the arrest of Anthony Marano, 29, of Jackson. Marano is charged with 3rd degree Aggravated Assault, 3rd degree Possession of Child Pornography and 2nd degree Distribution of Child Pornography. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s High Tech Crime Unit (HTCU), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Jackson Township Police Department teamed up in this latest proactive operation to stop child exploitation.
The arrest is the result of proactive cyber monitoring by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit indicating someone within Ocean County had downloaded images of prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts. OCPO HTCU first initiated an investigation of the defendant in December of 2016, but were unable to substantiate the alleged activity due to covert cyber measures taken by Marano. Undeterred, HTCU Detectives would continue the investigation and uncovered additional information from the FBI Cyber Crime Task Force regarding Marano’s alleged criminal activity.
