Sex Offender Accused of Infiltrating Toms River HS East Marching Band
A tier-three sex offender in Ocean County is accused of becoming involved in the parents' board of the Toms River High School East Marching Band.
Jason Walsh, 41, of Berkeley Township, was indicted in Ocean County Superior Court in Toms River on Monday.
According to county Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, Walsh allegedly took part in the board that oversees the band's "Pit Crew" and sought a position on the board, in violation of his status.
Investigators in Coronato's office, Toms River Police and the New Jersey Department of Parole say a review of his GPS tracker supported complaints brought to their attention by school officials and parents.
Walsh is charged as a sex offender prohibited from youth-serving organizations in violation of state statutes. He was released for a future court date.
