Hamilton Township police officer and his wife, a Mercer County Sheriff’s Officer, have been arrested on multiple charges, including recording and distributing child sexual abuse material.
Authorities confirmed their suspensions without pay and initiated termination proceedings against the officer.
Brian DiBiasi, 39, a 21-year veteran of the Hamilton Police Department, and his wife, Elizabeth DiBiasi, 42, an 18-year employee of the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, were arrested on Jan. 29 at their home on Marlon Pond Road.
They remain held at Monmouth County Jail ahead of a detention hearing next week.
According to court documents, the couple engaged in sexual acts in front of children and recorded multiple images and videos, some of which depicted Elizabeth DiBiasi nude with children, who were also sometimes nude.
The New Jersey State Police received a tip on Jan. 28 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), leading to the investigation.
Investigators traced the child pornography files to the social media app Kik, linking the account directly to the couple’s home.
When confronted, Brian DiBiasi admitted to owning the account and distributing the files, authorities said.
Brian DiBiasi faces five charges, including possession, recording, and distribution of child sexual abuse material, as well as endangering the welfare of a child.
Elizabeth DiBiasi has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child by engaging in sexual conduct.
Hamilton Township officials have confirmed that Brian DiBiasi was suspended without pay and served with a notice of termination.
Elizabeth DiBiasi, who earned a $134,000 annual salary, was also suspended without pay following her arrest.
Brian DiBiasi’s salary was reported at $136,000 per year.
“The off-duty allegations made against this officer do not reflect the values of this agency or the dedicated and hardworking men and women who put their lives on the line every day for the citizens of Hamilton,” the Hamilton Police Department said in a statement Friday.
The department further condemned the actions, stating, “The agency condemns in the strongest possible terms the alleged actions of this individual and supports the most vigorous prosecution of this case.”
Authorities continue to investigate, working alongside the Hamilton Township School District to provide necessary support to affected children.
Officials have also reassured the community that law enforcement remains committed to maintaining safety and accountability.
Both defendants remain in custody pending further legal proceedings.
