Officials: NJ Woman Conspired With Ex-Boyfriend To Produce Sexually Explicit Images Of Children

CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS) – Camden County officials say a New Jersey woman admitted to conspiring with her former boyfriend to produce sexually explicit images of children.

According to police, Janine Kelley, 35, of Audubon, N.J., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle in Camden federal court.

There she gave authorities enough information to charge her with one count of conspiring with her former boyfriend, Alexander Capasso, 42, of Collingswood, New Jersey, to engage in the sexual exploitation of two children.

Court documents say Kelley, a registered nurse, began a relationship with Capasso in 2011 when he expressed an interest in engaging in sexual conduct with children.

From November 2011 through October 2012, police say Kelley took, and allowed Capasso to take, recorded images of her engaged in sexually explicit conduct with the two children.

Kelley also allegedly took, or allowed Capasso to take, images of Capasso engaged in sexually explicit conduct with one of the minor children.

The conspiracy count to which Kelly pleaded guilty carries a minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, and a fine of up to $250,000.

Her sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 18, 2016.

Capasso was indicted by a federal grand jury in Camden on July 6, 2016, for allegedly possessing and distributing images of child sex abuse and also for conspiring to sexually exploit two minor children.
