Matthew Kleinstein, 20, pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree count of cyber harassment on August 17. Information from the office of acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Chris Gramiccioni indicates that he applied for admission into a pretrial intervention program.

If he qualifies, it would open the possibility of rehabilitation services. A standard sentence would run as high as one and a half years in prison. Completion of the program offers entrants a chance to circumvent criminal charges on their records.

Investigators accused Kleinstein of "knowingly sending, posting, commenting, requesting, suggesting or proposing any lewd, indecent or obscene material to a person." The incident is believed to have taken place around June 28, 2014, while he was employed by the township.

The incident has produced a lawsuit against the township by the family of one of the alleged victims.
