TRENTON – Attorney General Anne Milgram and Criminal Justice Director Gregory A. Paw announced that a Camden County man has been indicted on charges that he attempted to expose himself to underage females using the Internet and engage in other sexual conduct with them.

According to Director Paw, Colby Nolan Mauldin, 25, of Berlin, was charged in a seven-count indictment with second-degree attempted luring or enticing a child by electronic means, as well as three counts each of third-degree attempted endangering the welfare of a child and third-degree attempted obscenity for persons under 18.

The indictment alleges that in January 2008, Mauldin, on separate occasions, came in contact with three individuals online who he believed were 13- or 14-year-old girls, but who were, in fact, undercover police officers posing as children. Mauldin allegedly asked the “children” sexually explicit questions and exposed his genitals to each of them using his Web camera. It is also charged that, on at least one occasion, Mauldin discussed detailed arrangements to meet with one of the individuals he believed to be a child.

On February 8, members of New Jersey’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force searched Mauldin’s home and seized his computer. The investigation was coordinated by the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Deputy Attorney General James Ruberton. Ruberton presented the case to the state grand jury.

The April 9 indictment is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Second-degree crimes carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $150,000 while third-degree crimes carry a maximum sentence of five years in state prison and a fine of up to $15,000.
