A former Keansburg middle school teacher has been sentenced to a three-year prison term for distributing child sexual abuse materials, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced.
On April 9, Marc S. Marinoff, 31, of Marlboro, pleaded guilty to one count of second degree endangering the welfare of a child involving the distribution of child pornography.
On June 29, Marinoff was sentenced to a three-year state prison term. He will be subject to the provisions of Megan’s Law (sex offender registration) upon his release from prison, according to the prosecutor.
Marinoff is permanently banned from holding any public employment in New Jersey and has forfeited his current public position as a school teacher. The sentence was handed down by state Superior Court Judge Ellen Torregrossa-O’Connor, sitting in Freehold.
Marinoff was arrested in 2017 after detectives from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office conducted a search of his home and various personal electronic devices were seized and examined, revealing child sexual abuse items had been possessed and distributed, according to the prosecutor.
A forensic examination of the devices disclosed that Marinoff distributed videos depicting the sexual abuse of children via a peer-to-peer file-sharing program – an online connection of computers allowing the sharing of files directly between individual users.
Marinoff was a teacher at the Joseph R. Bolger Middle School in Keansburg.
