THE RECORD

A former Glen Rock police officer — whose duties included working with juveniles and handling evidence — admitted Thursday that he sent sexually explicit text messages to two teenage girls and that he pawned guns that were surrendered to the department.

Eric Reamy, 51, of Fair Lawn accepted a pre-indictment plea deal before Judge Susan J. Steele in Superior Court in Hackensack that will likely send him to prison for three to five years.

His sentencing is scheduled for June 24.

Reamy stood with his hands – one bearing a gold wedding band – folded at his waist while admitting that he sent suggestive text messages and naked pictures to two girls, ages 14 and 17. Both youths were involved in complaints that he, as the juvenile officer for Glen Rock police, was investigating.

THE RECORD

A bail hearing for a Glen Rock police officer accused of sending explicit text messages to two teenage girls he was supervising as the borough’s juvenile officer has been rescheduled for Thursday.

Sgt. Eric Reamy remained held at the Bergen County Jail on $250,000 bail, following his arrest last week on charges that he also exchanged nude photos with one of the girls.

Judge Susan Steele in Superior Court in Hackensack had held a bail reduction hearing on Monday and had scheduled the continuation of that hearing for Wednesday, which was then postponed until Thursday.

Jail officials testified on Monday that Reamy was initially placed on suicide watch as a matter of standard protocol but was later removed from the watch after he was found to pose no risk to himself.

Jail officials also said they had concerns about two guns that Reamy had bought that remained unaccounted for. Reamy had bought 11 guns over the years, according to the state police registry, and nine of them have been accounted for.

THE RECORD

A Glen Rock police detective charged with sending sexually explicit text messages to two teenage girls he was supervising as the borough’s juvenile officer, and exchanging nude photos with one of them, on Monday moved a step closer to being released on bail with an electronic ankle bracelet.

During a hearing in Hackensack, Superior Court Judge Susan Steele heard testimony from Jacqueline Gill, a mental health technician who conducts suicide risk assessments on inmates coming into the Bergen County Jail. The judge also heard from Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Daniel Marro, who discussed the county’s enhanced bail program with electronic monitoring.

Gill testified that Sgt. Eric Reamy was placed on suicide watch by a nurse when he entered the jail last week, based solely on “standard protocol,” due to the sexual nature of the charges and his high bail, which was set at $250,000.

THE RECORD

A Glen Rock detective whose job centered on protecting children was arrested Wednesday, accused of sending naked photos of himself to a 14-year-old girl and sexually explicit text messages to another teenage girl, both of whom had been under his supervision, authorities said.

Detective Sgt. Eric Reamy, 51, the borough’s juvenile officer, was arrested at his home in Fair Lawn following a one-month investigation that began when the mother of a 17-year-old girl went to Glen Rock police after finding “inappropriate” messages from the detective on her daughter’s cellphone, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said.

The investigation led police to a 14-year-old girl who recently moved with her family to Texas, and whose phone was examined Tuesday by Bergen County detectives who traveled there to interview her and her parents, the prosecutor said. Reamy had persuaded the girl to send him naked photos of herself and had sent her “two naked photos of his private part,” Molinelli said.

Reamy has been charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, including one first-degree count, Molinelli said.
