Two New Jersey men have been sentenced for their separate but heinous crimes taking place in the Garden State.

An Egg Harbor Township man will spend four years in state prison a month after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and unlawful possession of ghost gun parts with a large capacity magazine, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

Neal Garrity, 34, was found with these drugs and gun parts when law enforcement executed a search warrant at his home on Boston Avenue including garage and vehicle on June 10 following an undercover sting into his distribution of drugs across Atlantic County.

At his residence, investigators said that they found fentanyl and other drugs, an undisclosed amount of cash, and parts to assembly a ghost gun and a large capacity magazine as well.

Garrity will be serving four years in state prison while a Bridgeton man will spend 8 years in prison (96 months) for distribution and possession of child porn images.

New Jersey's most disgraceful child predators and accused predators

NJ arrests 31 accused child predators in Operation 24/7

A roundup of 31 men have been accused of sexually exploiting children online, state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced on July 14 while detailing "Operation 24/7."

The suspects “possessed and or distributed videos and images of child sexual abuse, including in many cases videos of young children being raped by adults,” Grewal said.

Chat apps and gaming platforms remain favorite hunting grounds for child predators and even as the pandemic winds down, many children have continued to spend more time online.

State Police received 39% more tips in just the first 6 months of 2021 than they received in the entire year in 2019. The following are suspects charged in "Operation 24/7."
