Maurice Pearson Sentenced on Aggravated Manslaughter and Simple Assault

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp and Chief of Investigations Stephen F. Wilson, Jr. announce the sentencing of Maurice Pearson, 31, with a last known address in Pine Brook on Aggravated Manslaughter and Simple Assault Charges.

On or about April 10, 2015, officers with the Fairfield Township Police Department responded to the Knights Inn, located at 55A Route 46 in Pine Brook (Montville Township) on a report of a male choking.

As a result of a joint law enforcement investigation by multiple agencies, Pearson was charged and subsequently indicted for various crimes related to the death of a three-year old Ty’mil Solomon and the assault of his mother, Nicole Regan.

Pearson, formerly of Altoona, Pa., was a close friend of Regan’s husband, who was murdered in Pennsylvania. Pearson and Regan were dating at the time of the Ty’mil’s death. Pearson was not the boy’s father.

Members of the Montville Police Department, Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and Sex Crimes/Child Endangerment Unit, the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, the Fairfield Police Department, and the Altoona (PA) Police Department all contributed to this investigation and prosecution.

Pearson pled guilty in April 2018, to one count of Aggravated Manslaughter, a crime of the First degree, and one count of Simple Assault, a disorderly persons offense.

On November 16 the Hon. Stephen J. Taylor, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Morris Vicinage, sentenced the Defendant to twenty years in New Jersey State Prison. Pearson will be required to service eighty-five percent of his sentence before being eligible for parole pursuant to the “No Early Release Act” (NERA).

He will also be subject to a five-year period of parole supervision upon his release from prison.
