We can remember back in 2005 when a candidate running for Manalapan Township Committee came up with an idea for creating an anti-pedophile ordinance in town. Sounded like a good idea at da time. Even wound up passing unanimously and becoming da law of Manalapan-land, and even became a model that other towns used when they set up their own anti-pedophile ordinances.
However, there were some that decided to make this ordinance to protect kids a political football, even getting da local Snoozepaper to do an expose on exactly which streets in senior citizen-land Covered Bridge would not be covered by da ordinance where pedophiles who go after children could live and not live.
Now, Manalapan does not have to worry, because da powers that be knew what they were doing. Don't they always? Now since da Manalapan Township Committee decided to repeal that law, it means that any pedophile can live and go where they please in da town we readers love so dear. They cannot be barred from living near these places like libraries, schools or day care centers, or places where kids congregate.
At one time, there was a challenge to da Manalapan law by a guy who thought it would be a novel idea to at one time, as da Asbury Park Press newspaper described as having a little weekend of "bondage with an 11-year old boy." He had just been sprung from da stockade and wanted to move back home with his parents, who just happened to live in Manalapan near da library where, much to some who may be surprised, kids have a propensity to go to. He tried to challenge da very law that daTruthSquad has been told was devised and put together by da-then 2005 Manalapan Township Attorney, some legal-eagle named Da Mosked Man. He gave up on his challenge when it was revealed that da law was so well written that he could lose, and he moved to a lovely place in Asbury Park.
Too bad that law was repealed by da Manalapan Township Committee, because wouldn't it be a shock if, hypothetically of course, some guy wound up being arrested for viewing kiddie porn.

Well........
Imagine how you'd feel as a Manalapan parent knowing this same guy - or any guy - could have been taking a gander at some kiddie porn while in da Manalapan library? It's a revolting thought, right?
Da good news is something this heinous didn't happen in Manalapan. Da bad news - In this case, it happened in Asbury Park because a law not allowing pedophiles to live near da library didn't allow this man to live in town - and - there's a Manalapan connection!
Da Asbury Park Press, and not da local Snoozepaper who checked this out wrote "Detective Capt. Anthony Salerno said that Lawrence J. Cohen of Sixth Avenue was being held in the Monmouth County Jail in lieu of $70,000 bail. Salerno said Cohen was observed viewing the child pornography Monday afternoon and when he returned to the library on Tuesday, he was identified and arrested."
But wait, there's more.
Da newspaper says that da police took this extremely seriously and da reason is because this guy wasn't looking at want-ads or checking out travel websites. Apparently he was witnessed checking out sites that would make any parent of a young child toss their cookies! Da newspaper says "What was seen by a reporting patron was nudity, children and bondage," Salerno said. "This guy has a history of targeting young children. In this case we didn't wait, because as far as we're concerned, he is a child predator."
Note da words --- looking at "Bondage," "History of targeting young children," "he is a child predator."
Imagine if this happened in Manalapan?
How dangerous was this fellow? Da newspaper writes "A kindergarten teacher at a public school in Brooklyn at the time, he was apprehended because the boy he thought he was making arrangements to meet was a police officer posing as a child in an Internet chat room. When Cohen arrived at a motel in Wall, arresting officers found he had brought a car trunk full of bondage gear, according to news reports. Later, police found similar restraining devices in his desk at his school."
That's right - da same guy who was not able to live in Manalapan because of a recently-repealed law was a one time teacher who had bondage equipment in his desk at a school according to da newspaper!
Concern you yet?
DaTruth is, this guy who tried to lure what he thought was an 11 year old boy to a motel in Monmouth County for a sexual bondage escapade could have been living within walking distance of da Manalapan library if it were not for a former law called "Miracle's Law" that kept Manalapan kids safe for a few years and didn't allow someone like this guy to move back into Manalapan, but instead was repealed for some strange reason.
Why was it repealed last year?
Well, let's hope that in da future, if this guy ever does see da light of day outside of a jail, that he doesn't come back to Manalapan and live near da library here - because legally now - he can.
DaTruth is, there were those who challenged laws similar to da one Manalapan had, and it was feared that Manalapan's law would also be challenged and da taxpayers would foot da bill. Ironically, those who voted to not have Manalapan taxpayers foot da bill for this were some of da same ones who voted to file da "Lawsuit to Nowhere," known as "Da Township of Manalapan vs da Mosked Man" and spent what Land Baron Mayor Andy Boy said at da time was over "$100,000" on da case - even before it was a year old!
DaTruth is, some other town's laws were so poorly written and not as expertly written as da Manalapan ordinance that a legal challenge could be mounted due to da language of da ordinances. Now, ask yourself why in da Manalapan challenge da pedophile guy gave up on his challenge? Could it be because of da specific language of da ordinance that other towns copied because it was so well legally written.
Well, without da law that was called "Miracle's Law" that was so expertly written by former Manalapan Township Attorney da Mosked Man, if he or any other folks like this decide to move into Manalapan, or go near a day care center, or hang out in a library, now there's nothing legal to stop them - thanks to da upstanding members of da 2009 Manalapan Township Committee who voted in favor to repeal this ordinance.
Now, to be fair, they may tell you that was da legal advice they were given. Where have we heard that one before???? If that's da case, then where were da elected officials to question this? Why no second opinion from an expert in da field? If one town repeals theirs - should every?
DaTruth is, we all owe a debt of thanhs to da fine men and women of da Asbury Park Police Department, and da vigilant person who saw enough to report to police what was being viewed in a public library by a guy who at one time thought nothing wrong of having a bondage weekend with an 11-year old boy. Let's all be greatful and thankful he was apprehended before any child could be placed in harm's way. And let's be thankful it didn't happen in da Manalapan library.
And, if you have young children, let's all remain vigilant and let's keep a closer eye on them. We can't always trust politicians to protect our most precious gift.
And that's daTruth.

What was Susan Cohen's excuse for being absent the night the law was repealed?
I live in Brick and here they repealed it because there was no way it would have stood up to current law. Out law was 100% no pedophiles. It was argued that if 20-25% of the town were allowable for them to live with some places off limits it would have survived a legal challenge. I don't know what the Manalapan law was but I was under the impression yours could handle a challenge.
BTW, did you see the picture of this lowlife? Scary.
Whoever voted to repeal the law, let them have the pleasure of having this guy move in next to them.
Interesting take on this waste of life and the election Mr. and or Mrs Squad.
Now let me give you some real truth.
ISSUE 1 - The alliance. Even though nobody in the Republican heirarchy will admit it you were correct about it. It was obvious to everyone there was power sharing toward the end of 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the start of 2010. It got what each political party wanted. They got to keep power with their top people and those who tried to step in were eliminated. It worked until two Republicans decided they didn't need Roth and Ward sticking their noses where they didn't belong. The Roth's knew it but couldn't get anyone to believe it.
ISSUE 2 - The Yorktowne Club. They wanted political power like they once had. They had become irrelevent. They wanted power back. Getting Jordan in was the lynchpin to making that happen, which was why he was selected to run this year, and why Roth became expendible. They never trusted Locricchio or Cohen to do what they were told. Now watch and see as two more members of the Yorktowne Club will run in 2011, and soon the MTC will be dominated by Yorktowne Club members.
ISSUE 3 - You. The alliance made the Transcript irrelevent. The breakup of the alliance made Ward irrelevent. Kathy Barrata and her 3 person blog was irrelevent 2 seconds after she started it. Roth has become irrelevent on the MTC and will be next year as even Don Holland won't come to her rescue. Soon there will be a new leader of the Manalapan Republicans, and even McEnery will become irrelevent. Even though they tried twice and failed both times to get you, don't be surprised if they try again, this time introducing a new blog to go up against (Stu) you.
If Roth is smart she'd not even bother to run in 2011. Nobody would be foolish enough to run with her. Much like Lucas she has chewed up and spit out those who ran with her and the Democrat dominance in Manalapan is now a distant memory as her power has been stripped to nothing. On January 1, 2012, there will be 5 Republicans on the MTC.
Watch and see. And that's THE 1st truth!
Anybody know the website to find out if any of these losers live near us?
www.njsp.org and look under NJ Sex Offender Registry near the top of the page, RH side.

Thanks, that's why I read this blog. The comments here are always very helpful and nobody takes vicious swipes at others like on other blogs in Manalapan. Plus, this one is usually pretty funny at times.
FYI, the state has a sex offender registry at NJSP.ORG on the state police website. It is up to date as far as I can tell.
Kudos Squad for keeping these slimebags under scrutiny.
Hey, Squad, just curious....how come da Mosked Man didn't get Englishtown to adopt a Miracle's Law when he was their lawyer all those years after he was the lawyer for Manalapan?

It's up to the municipality to decide what ordinances they want. It's up to the attorney to write whatever they want in the best possible way. Maybe the Borough didn't feel they had any children needing protection.
If you knew the size of Englishtown you just might realize that such a law would virtually ban all offenders from the jurisdiction, a clearly untenable position to uphold in any court.
Yeah, or maybe he never recommended adoption because he knew the ordinance was preempted by state law.
From a legal standpoint, the reason some state towns had no alternative but to repeal their ordinances against pedophiles was due to the language their particular ordinances were written, along with jurisdictional boundary issues. In the case of Brick Township, their law did not allow for any pedophile to live in the city borders, except for one piece of property that was not zoned residential. It could have easily been challenged and overturned. Interestingly, the Manalapan ordinance may have been both the most legal and would have been much harder to overturn, due to the language allowing one/fourth of the town to be able to house pedophiles, as well as allowance for certain roads they could travel on to avoid areas off limits by the ordinance. It may be why other towns copied the roadmap of that ordinance. In fact, according to the law database there was one challenge to the Manalapan ordinance, and the party backed out of it on advice of their attorney due to the language of the ordinance.
