George R. Mander (DOB 10/16/57) of 10 Morris Terrace, Glassboro NJ faces 11 ½ years in New Jersey state prison after pleading guilty to possession and distribution of computer images showing children engaged in sex acts.

Mander, a supervisor for a pharmaceutical products distributor, who was arrested on the charges 4/7/09, entered guilty pleas to pre-indictment accusations on the offenses on Monday (8/1). Both are forms of the crime of child endangerment. The pleas and penalties were negotiated by Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Joseph Brook. Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson schedule sentencing for Dec. 2.

Under the plea agreement, Mander would be sentenced to the maximum penalty of 10 years in New Jersey state prison for second-degree child pornography distribution and 18 months for third-degree possession of the images. The sentences would be served consecutively.

The charges resulted from an investigation by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s High-Tech Crimes unit, in which a laptop and other digital media belonging to Mander were examined. The analysis found thousands of images of prepubescent children engaged in sex acts.
