NJ cop sentenced on child endangerment charge/register as a sex offender



Jeffrey Kimmel a northern New Jersey police officer convicted of child endangerment has been sentenced to seven years in state prison. Kimmel will also have to register as a sex offender and will be placed on lifetime parole once he's freed. He was convicted of the charge in April by a Bergen County jury that also cleared him of child sexual assault charges. Prosecutors claimed Kimmel fondled a 6-year-old girl in a relative's home in 2010. But the defense argued the girl's "sketchy memory meant Kimmel should be acquitted on both counts.
