MORRIS COUNTY — A Maryland man has been sentenced to four years in New Jersey State Prison following an undercover investigation by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
First Assistant Morris County Prosecutor Maggie Calderwood and Chief of Detectives Robert McNally confirmed that Cristobal Slobodzian, 38, of Hyattsville, Maryland, was sentenced on June 26, 2026 by Judge Ralph Amirata in connection with multiple online communications made with an undercover agent posing as a minor child.
On March 30, 2026, Slobodzian pled guilty to one count of third degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child and one count of third degree Obscenity. Upon release from prison, Slobodzian is required to adhere to Megan’s Law and parole supervision for life.
The investigation began in July 2025, when Slobodzian used a teen chat application to contact someone he believed to be a 13-year-old female, who was actually an undercover agent with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office ICAC Task Force. Slobodzian engaged in sexually explicit conversations with the 13-year-old persona and sent numerous explicit images.
The investigation revealed Slobodzian to be a resident of Prince George’s County, Maryland. With the assistance of Prince George’s County Police Department officers, members of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office ICAC Unit executed a search warrant at the defendant’s Hyattsville residence on November 12, 2025. Slobodzian was subsequently arrested, detained in Maryland, and extradited to New Jersey.
The prosecution resulted from coordination among the Prince George’s County Police Department Special Crimes Division ICAC/CVAA unit, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, and the MCPO Digital Investigations Unit.
