Kevin Tomafsky, a former aide to ex-New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, was arrested on August 15 following a July grand jury indictment. Tomafsky, 41, faces multiple charges, including engaging in sexual conduct with a child and conspiracy to endanger the welfare of a child.
The arrest comes after a probe initiated in October 2022 by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s office, triggered by a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The organization received an alert from Snapchat about an alleged incident involving child sex that was uploaded to the platform.
Tomafsky is in custody at the Salem County Correctional Facility in Mannington. The alleged victim is a 16-year-old girl.
Tomafsky has a history of political involvement, having worked for Christie from 2010 to 2012. He also served as a field director for Republican legislative candidates in New Jersey’s 1st district in 2013 and was Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi’s legislative director from 2014 to 2016.
