Two Gloucester County Men Arrested on Serious Child Sexual Abuse Material Charges
Two Men from Gloucester County Arrested on Serious Child Sexual Abuse Charges
Police in Gloucester County recently caught two men in separate cases for having material relating to child sexual abuse. This shows that police are still working hard to stop these horrible crimes.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said that 24-year-old Stephen Goffredo from Turnersville is being charged with second-degree child sexual abuse and having and giving out information about child sexual abuse. Also, Addison Hennequant, 28, of West Deptford was charged with second-degree possession of similar illegal information in a different case.
Goffredo was being looked into, and on July 15, 2024, his home was searched. Several electronic items were taken during the search. There were links between these gadgets and online accounts that had explicit content about abusing children. Goffredo admits to getting this kind of information from the internet while he was being questioned by police.
At the same time, Hennequant was the subject of a different probe that led to his home being searched on August 9, 2024. Even though electronics were taken during the search, it wasn’t until May 2025 that forensic research showed that there was evidence of child sexual abuse. After this was found out, Hennequant was officially charged on July 18.
Both guys are being held at the Salem County Jail until their September 11 court dates. So far, requests for comments from their lawyers have not been answered.
Even though these people were caught, it’s still hard for police to find and punish people who keep and give out sexual abuse materials for kids. Police, other groups, and the government are still working together to find, ask, and bring thieves to justice so that weak children are not abused.
The Gloucester County prosecutor asks anyone with information about certain instances to come forward. To keep communities secure and capture criminals, everyone must cooperate.
