EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. – A Jackson man arrested earlier this month as part of a multi-agency child luring investigation known as “Operation Bad Santa” has been released from custody following his initial booking, according to public inmate records.
Jorge A. Mora, 52, was arrested by East Brunswick police on December 11 and charged with multiple offenses, including luring or enticing a child by various means under statute 2C:13-6A and two counts of criminal attempt under statute 2C:5-1A(1). The charges stem from an undercover investigation led by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit that targeted suspects allegedly attempting to meet minors for sexual activity through online communications.
