Yesterday, members of the Secaucus Police Detective Division arrested Johan Marte Genao, 35, of Secaucus.
After a seven-month long investigation, led by Secaucus Police Det. Kristen Bronowich, it was confirmed that Johan Marte Genao both viewed and uploaded numerous videos that depicted children engaging in sexual acts.
He was charged with two separate counts of endangering the welfare of a child and endangering the welfare of a child.
The court released Johan Marte Genao from custody on a summons, pending his appearance in court.
“The Secaucus Police Department continues to take part in initiatives to protect our most vulnerable population, our children,” Miller said in a statement.
“The tireless work and determination exhibited by Detective Bronowich is what directly led to this arrest. Once again, I am frustrated and disappointed that Criminal Justice Reform allowed this predator to walk free without conditions, while awaiting his court appearance.”
In 2022, detectives from the Secaucus Police Department joined the ranks of Internet Crimes Against Children [ICAC] Task Force – New Jersey, which is spearheaded the New Jersey State Police.
Congratulations to the Secaucus Police Department for your hard ongoing work 👏 and thanks Det. Bronowich
