A Florham Park man who taught at parochial schools in Boonton and Long Hill was arrested Thursday and charged with producing and distributing images of child sexual abuse, according to U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman.
Colin M. Skeele, 30, also faces charges of enticing a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to court documents that include excerpts of shocking dialogue transcribed from Skype messages between Skeele and an unnamed individual, who agreed to produce and transmit photos and live videos of children as young as 7-years-old engaging in sexual acts with a 1-year-old.
Arrested by agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, Skeele was detained without bail by U.S. Magistrate Court Judge Joseph A. Dickson. He is charged by complaint with two counts of production of child pornography, one count of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity and one count of distribution of child pornography.
Court documents state Skeele was employed as a teacher in a Boonton parochial school from June 2009 to about June 2010, and also taught in a parochial school in the Stirling section of Long Hill from about February to June of 2012. He also was seasonally employed at a boys summer camp in Hardwick from 2004 to about 2011.
