Maryland Man Sent Nude Pics To NJ Cop Posing As 13-Year-Old: Prosecutors

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — A Maryland man has been arrested after engaging in sexual conversations with a cop he thought was a 13-year-old child, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Cristobal Slobodzian, 38, of Hyattsville, faces several charges, including attempted sexual assault, and was arrested in Maryland on Wednesday.

The investigation into Slobodzian began in July, when he engaged in online chats with an undercover police officer pretending to be a 13-year-old, officials said.

In those online conversations, Slobodzian had “sexually explicit conversations” with the 13-year-old persona, and sent several photos of his genitals, according to investigators.

Authorities discovered Slobodzian to be a resident of Prince George’s County in Maryland, and coordinated a search warrant execution of his home with the Prince George’s County Police Department.

He was arrested by Maryland police and charged with attempted sexual assault, attempted endangering the welfare of a child, and attempted obscenity.

Slobodzian is being held by Maryland authorities and will be extradited to New Jersey to await court proceedings.
