Brick Man Pleads Guilty To Possessing Child Pornography

BRICK, NJ — A Brick Township man has pleaded guilty to possession of child sexual abuse material, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said Friday.

Dennis R. Hubert, 43, was arrested in October after an investigation into a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that someone was sending and receiving sexual abuse images of children from the internet, the prosecutor's office said.

Investigators traced the IP address to the home in Brick where Hubert was living, and forensic search of his electronic devices, seized during a court-authorized search of the home, turned up an undisclosed number of images of child pornography, the prosecutor's office said.

Hubert was taken to the Ocean County Jail. He is being held at the South Woods State Prison in Bridgeton due to a parole violation, the prosecutor's office said.

According to state prison records, he was arrested in March 2014 in Ocean County on child pornography possession charges and sentenced in October 2015 to five years in prison. His prisoner record lists a February 2023 sentencing in connection with the 2014 charge, and one on Oct. 31, 2024, after the arrest to which he pleaded guilty on Friday.

Billhimer said prosecutors will be seeking a 5-year prison term when Hubert is sentenced in the October 2024 case. A sentencing date was not announced.
