Park Ridge NJ, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella announced the arrest of RICHARD OSINSKI (DOB: 1/03/1960; divorced; unemployed) of 100 Colony Avenue, Park Ridge, New Jersey on child pornography charges. The arrest is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Chief Jason Love.
On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Cyber Crimes Unit executed a search warrant at the residence of RICHARD OSINSKI after a months-long Internet child pornography investigation. The investigation revealed that OSINSKI used the Internet to view, download, and possess more than 1,000 digital files depicting nude and/or sexually explicit prepubescent and pubescent children as well as coordinating the production of sexually explicit online depictions of children.
As a result of the investigation, RICHARD OSINSKI was arrested on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, in Paramus, New Jersey and charged with one count of first-degree production of child pornography, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4b(3); and one count of second-degree possession of child pornography, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4b(5)(b)(ii). OSINSKI was remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
Prosecutor Musella states that the charges are merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutor Musella thanks the Park Ridge Police Department for their assistance, as well as the Lyndhurst Police Department, Bergen County Sheriff’s Department and Ramsey Police Department which participate in the Bergen County Cyber Crimes Task Force.
