Joseph J. Gentile, 43, of Broadway in Union Beach, pleaded guilty on Monday to Second Degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Distribution of Child Pornography) before Superior Court Judge Ronald Lee Reisner, according to a statement by Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.

Gentile was arrested in March of last year after a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) revealed that Gentile was streaming a video of child pornography on November 23, 2014, over the Omegle network, an online video chat service. He was released on $150,000 bail with no 10% option.

As part of the plea agreement, the Prosecutor’s Office has agreed to recommend that Gentile be sentenced as a third degree offender and that a three year sentence in New Jersey state prison be imposed. Gentile will be subject to the terms of Megan’s Law upon his release.

Sentence is scheduled for May 6.
