There isn't enough punishment for this crime. Sadly he will probably get a slap on the wriist and set free. THAT 's the problem. Justice will not be served until our legal system is revamped.

Right because your "friends" on the PD tell you whats going on in the town??? Most cops go around telling people about activities etc. I too am in town daily, I see some people that are shady, I also see that in Freehold Twp at Stonehurst. I also see crime in Manalapan, Marlboro everywhere. If you lived here your whole life, you would know it was much worse in the 80's, town has cleaned up a bit. Sure there is still room to fix but not that bad. I think you may be mistaking druggies, alcoholics for other Freehold residence.
My point is, its not that bad, its been worse. Crime is up everywhere, read the paper, Freehold isn't the only place.

nothing better then a internet tough guy! Being so tough you would think a few "filthy people by Ritas wouldn't scare you. And should a Dad really be at a bar at 5pm? oh well, you win, I'm scared of your tough guy ways.
You win, the Boro is like Camden and Newark even.
