6,000-Image Shared Child Porn Collection Gets Postal Worker 2½-Year Minimum Prison Term

Kevin M. Groeger, 64, of Carteret, was sentenced Friday to five years behind bars. He also must register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law and will be subject to lifetime parole supervision, state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.

Groeger was among 79 men seized statewide during “Operation Safety Net,” a multi-agency child protection operation led by the New Jersey Regional Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

He cut a deal with state prosecutors and last fall pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography in exchange for a sentence more lenient than he’d have received had he been convicted at a trial.
