COURT HOUSE – A Cape May County grand jury handed up 25 indictments Dec. 18.
The abbreviation CDS below stands for controlled dangerous substance. 
A charge of “certain person not to have a weapon” can be brought against someone possessing a weapon who was previously convicted of a felony. 
The individuals listed are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Kevin T. Craner-Morey
Kevin Craner-Morey, 32, of Villas, was indicted on 10 counts, four of which are in the first degree. Earlier this year Craner-Morey was convicted and sentenced to three years in state prison on child pornography charges. 
This week an indictment contains four counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, three counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of second degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Additionally, the indictment contains a third-degree count for witness tampering and a fourth-degree count for contempt of a sexual offense restraining order.
The indictment charges that Craner-Morey lived in “a household where he had supervisory and disciplinary power” over the victim.
 It further states that he engaged in a pattern of sexual assaults at various dates ranging from 2010 to 2018. The first count deals with a period in which the victim was under 13 years of age. The separate indictment counts deal with the changing age of the same victim which is pertinent to the statutes violated.

Stephanie Baum, 34, of Villas, was indicted for third-degree possession of a CDS, alprazolam. A second count is for fourth-degree hindering apprehension.

The indictment states that Colbourne illegally entered four different automobiles in October and November and took moveable property in each instance.
One item taken was a Glock handgun which led to additional charges in the form of two-second degree counts for unlawful possession of a weapon and certain person. 
The final certain person charge stems from the possession of the handgun after he was previously convicted for burglary in 2013.
