The arrest is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Acting Chief Matthew Finck.
On Tuesday, November 28, 2023, members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Cyber Crimes Unit were contacted by New Jersey State Parole Officers regarding a parolee who violated the terms of his release and was believed to be in possession of child pornography. LIEBMANN was arrested on November 28, 2023, in Teaneck, NJ by parole officers for violating the conditions of his release.
Subsequently, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Cyber Crimes Unit conducted an investigation that involved a search of LEONARD LIEBMANN’s electronic devices, which revealed that LIEBMANN viewed, downloaded, and/or possessed items depicting nude and/or sexually explicit prepubescent and pubescent children. In addition, the search revealed LIEBMANN shared items depicting nude and/or sexually explicit prepubescent children. As a result of the investigation, on March 12, 2024, LIEBMANN was charged with second-degree possession of child pornography, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4(b)5(b)(ii); and second-degree distribution of child pornography, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4(b)5(a)(i). LIEBMANN was served with a complaint-warrant at the Southwoods State Prison, where he remains in custody.
Prosecutor Musella states that the charges are merely accusations and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutor Musella thanks the New Jersey State Parole Board for its assistance with the investigation.
