Little Egg Harbor, NJ - The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office has arrested a township man who tried to sexually assault a child with the promise of a gaming system in return for sexual favors, a spokesperson for the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said.

Christopher Wilson, 20, was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child, said spokesperson Al Della Fave.

Ocean County Prosecutor's Office Detective Stephanie Bayha and Little Egg Harbor Detective Joel Maher began an investigation in December of 2016.

Ocean County Superior Court Judge Patricia B. Roe ordered Wilson taken to the Ocean County Jail in Toms River. No monetary bail was set, due to new bail reform laws, Della Fave said.

Wilson is a Megan's Law offender from an incident stemming from a 2009 incident, he said.
