TOMS RIVER, NJ — A New Jersey man is being held without bail at the Ocean County jail following his arrest on multiple sex crime charges, including criminal sexual contact and child endangerment, stemming from a series of alleged offenses earlier this month.
Avraham Benmoshe was booked into custody on Tuesday and remains behind bars under a no-bail status. Authorities have charged the 44-year-old with lewdness, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and criminal sexual contact in connection with a case that remains under active investigation.
The most serious charge — endangering the welfare of a child — is listed twice under the same case number and graded as a third-degree felony. That charge alone can carry a prison term of up to five years if convicted.
Officials have not released further details about the alleged victim or the circumstances of the incident. No aliases or detainers were listed for Benmoshe, and there is currently no projected release date.
