New Jersey Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Sexually Exploiting a Minor
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey announced that Corey Hipscher of Lodi, in Bergen County, New Jersey, was sentenced on November 4, 2026, in federal court in Newark to 20 years in prison for receipt and possession of child pornography. Hipscher, 55, had previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge William J. Martini to an information charging him with receipt and possession of child pornography, and was also sentenced to 15 years of supervised release.
According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court, from 2020 to August 2023, Hipscher communicated with a minor victim located outside the United States using a social media platform, and encouraged the minor to send images and videos of sexually explicit conduct. He also began an online romantic relationship with the minor victim's mother, which he used to arrange for the minor victim and the family to visit him in New Jersey. During the visit, he sexually assaulted the minor victim and took sexually explicit photos of the minor victim and the minor victim's sibling.
U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer credited the investigation to the FBI Newark Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Stefanie Roddy, and also thanked the Lodi Police Department and the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. The government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Nadel of the Cybercrime Unit in Newark; defense counsel was Anthony Pope.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, marshaling federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children and to identify and rescue victims.
