PHILADELPHIA, PA — A former CBS Philadelphia reporter faces charges related to child endangerment, according to police in Washington Township. Cleve Bryan of Sewell was arrested Wednesday following an investigation conducted by Washington Township detectives and the High Tech Crimes Unit of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
Authorities placed Bryan in Salem County Correctional Facility pending a court appearance. The charges include possession of inappropriate images and endangering the welfare of a child.
The Washington Township Police Department has requested that anyone with further information or concerns regarding public safety reach out to Sgt. Mike Ferris or Sgt. Josh Bradford at 856-589-0330.
Bryan was an employee at CBS Philadelphia from 2013 to 2020, serving roles such as senior reporter and South Jersey bureau chief. He was laid off in 2020 by ViacomCBS during a nationwide staff cut that resulted in approximately 400 job losses.
