This internet search confirms to the public that James Hadley 66, of Barnegat NJ, a college dean, youth sports coach is accused of child sexual assault. Mr Hadley was charged with second-degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 16, second-degree luring a minor to commit a sexual act, third-degree endangering the welfare of a child and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.

Hadley began serving as the dean of the School of Business and Social Sciences at Ocean County College, according to his LinkedIn profile. He also worked as a lecturer at the community college and as an adjunct professor at Kean University, in addition to participating in various volunteer activities involving children.

Authorities said Hadley traveled from Ocean County to Pleasantville to meet a child for the purpose of engaging in a sexual act, and was arrested upon arrival.

When he arrived, detectives from the Pleasantville Police Department and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit took him into custody.

Investigators said Hadley had met with the child on at least two prior occasions and paid the child to perform sexual acts.

CASE DETAILS

The charges against Hadley are accusations. Under New Jersey law, defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.  The case will proceed to Atlantic County Superior Court with a detention hearing tentatively scheduled for March 18, 2026. James M. Hadley appeared in Superior Court on April 24 for a pre-indictment conference before Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Joseph Levin, where Atlantic County Assistant Prosecutor Jasmine Ostrow told the court the case is moving forward. “This case will be going to the grand jury,” Ostrow said. She also said investigators have uncovered additional evidence that could expand the charges. 

Ostrow told the court that investigators reviewing Hadley’s electronic devices located numbers of files she described as child sexual abuse material, commonly referred to as CSAM. The discovery is expected to result in an additional second-degree charge when the case is presented to the grand jury. “We did locate over 1,000 items of CSAM,” Ostrow said.

POLITICAL AFFILIATION

We have confirmed after checking public records, and to no surprise, Mr. Hadley is an active registered Republican with an unconscionable desire to engage in child sex related activities.  Patterns by prominent public figures cannot be concealed, and abusing children while attacking normal human beings in the public eye is not tolerable in today’s society.   

Call out in a loud voice and reject those so called leaders with no basic core principles such as honesty, trust, and truth.  We have kept all the receipts of those who claim righteousness on one hand and engage in evil on the other.
