New Jersey Law Enforcement

Mercer County Prosecutor Janetta D. Marbrey said Monday that Mark Paulino, 64, a retired Hamilton Township elementary teacher who had been working as a Santa at public and private events, was arrested and charged with distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material after ICAC investigators traced illicit uploads to him. Detectives received a Dec. 4 tip from the New Jersey State Police ICAC Unit, executed a search warrant at Paulino’s home Friday with Hamilton Police SWAT, seized evidence, and filed a motion to detain him pending trial.
