HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (MERCER)–On April 15, 2022, a 17-year-old juvenile reported that a white male, later identified as John V. Kreiser of Hamilton, New Jersey, had approached him while he was fishing near Zachary Arms Apartments. The two engaged in casual conversation when Kreiser pulled his pants down exposing his private parts and began to pleasure himself in front of the 17-year-old juvenile. The juvenile called police and Kreiser was arrested shortly in the area by Hamilton Police Officer Brandon Kent and Officer Roman Babyak.
Kreiser was transported to Hamilton Police Headquarters without incident and was charged with Lewdness and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Kreiser was released from Hamilton Police Custody pending a court date.
