Ex-NJ lawmaker faces child porn charges

TRENTON According to state Attorney General Anne Milgram, Neil Cohen also faces an official misconduct charge, punishable by a mandatory five years in prison.

Milgram's office began investigating the Democrat after a staffer reported finding a printout of a nude adolescent girl this summer in Cohen's Union Township office.

Assemblyman Joe Cryan said he and state Sen. Raymond Lesniak, who shared a district office with Cohen, referred the case to the state Attorney General's Office.

Cohen gave up his Assembly seat in July and checked himself into a psychiatric hospital.

Cohen has not spoken publicly about the allegations. He could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday.
