COURT HOUSE – A Cape May County grand jury handed up 11 indictments May 8. The abbreviation CDS below stands for controlled dangerous substance.
In addition to the Cape May County indictments, filings this week include two indictments from a state grand jury along with one recorded criminal action in which an individual waived his right to prosecution by indictment and jury trial, requesting a trial before the court.
The following actions are alleged by law enforcement agents. Persons named are innocent until proven otherwise in court.
Timothy Corwonski
Timothy Corwonski, 37, of North Wildwood, faces a criminal action for third-degree endangering the welfare of a child and fourth-degree violation of conditions of community supervision for life.
In 2003, Corwonski was convicted of child endangerment, involving inappropriate contact with a 6-year-old child, as well as possessing child pornography.
In February, Corwonski was again arrested for possession of “items depicting the sexual exploitation of a child.” Corwonski also tested positive for methamphetamine according to the state documents. He waived his right to trial by jury.
