PRESS RELEASE-LACEY TOWNSHIP MAN CHARGED WITH LURING
AND ATTEMPTED SEXUAL ASSAULT
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced today that Phillip Stone, 33, of Lacey Township, was charged with Luring in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:13-6, as well as Attempted Sexual Assault in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:5-1 and N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2c(4).
On March 1, 2020, a private citizen uploaded a video to YouTube depicting a chat on the social media app Skout between himself, posing as a 14 year-old, and Stone. During the course of the chat, Stone solicited the person whom he believed to be a minor to have sexual relations, and it was agreed that they would meet at a specified location in Toms River. At the arranged meeting place, Stone was filmed and confronted by the private citizen. On March 2, 2020, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit and Special Victims Unit began an investigation into the authenticity of the uploaded video. Investigation revealed that Stone believed he was chatting with a minor, arranged the meeting, and had indeed solicited the minor for sexual relations. Stone was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the Toms River Police Department for processing. He is currently lodged in the Ocean County Jail pending a detention hearing.
“As I stated earlier, investigations into criminal activity should be left to law enforcement professionals. Taking the law into your own hands is dangerous. We are very fortunate that no one got hurt today and we were able to take a child predator off the street,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated.
Prosecutor Billhimer would like to acknowledge the Ocean County Prosecutor’s High Tech Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, Lacey Township Police Department, and Toms River Township Police Department for their swift action and collective assistance in this investigation.
The press and public are reminded that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Its scary cause my 15yr old daughter goes there.
Doesn’t this pedophile have children also?
Daneen L Emele yes, 2 boys
A lot of them do
scumbags everywhere ….cant trust anyone
There are so many…. and they dont do nearly enough time for the long term damage they do to everyone. Its more than likely that there are real victims out there. Thank you to the private citizen who got this pig.
Danette Wall Hempel Bob Hempel Jessica Hempel Kopenhafer Deanna Wall Danyel Wall Sica

???? Sad
Paul R Miller I agree!
Paul R Miller sad thing is, in NJ if he didnt abuse the child he can maintain his legal custodial rights… she will have to fight and there arent a lot of resources available
Kris Gravatt
They are everywhere! Chemically castrate them and put them all on an island surrounded by sharks.
So sad to know he had a family and what they must be going threw after this.
Katherine Geissinger-Miller I cant stop thinking of his family. ????
Im sure they feel like its a nightmare. Confusion, anger, devastation, doubt, loss of trust in everyone.
Samantha Oelfke
I’m so glad I called Lacey Police after I saw this. I just needed to know if it was true and not just a FB thing. They got the sick bastard and I hope he gets everything he deserves and then some

why do you feel it necessary to show pictures of is wife and small children?
Nic Lee Mont
Jeannine Reilly I had seen he turned himself in but it didnt say anything about charges, this is fantastic, I’m following the youtuber who exposed him, he does this to a bunch of people aparentally
Nic Lee Mont apparently he was giving a stern warning about continuing to do this
This says he was charged with 2 counts
Nic Lee Mont no I mean the guy who made the video got a stern talking to… the creep was charged
Jeannine Reilly ya I heard he was told thanks BUT this isn’t a good idea, I see the LEO side of it but I’m glad he did it
The worst part is he’s married with kids….
Jennifer Steider-Jones the worst part is …someone would even to this!!!????
Jennifer Steider-Jones that’s disgusting pervert!
Jennifer Steider-Jones no the worse part is hes a child predator
Disgusting pig. And his relative Steven Stone of Brick was arrested recently for child pornography. Obviously this sick BS runs in the family. ????????????
Probably got it from this fat pig….Saw 2 people say this guy years ago had kiddy porn on his phone and showed people….so this whole upset over mother dying is bullshit…been a long time coming….wonder how many real children he molested!!!
Eric Harris

Monsters on earth
I feel sorry for his wife who probably thinking if he touch his children..
Edward A. Fenton
Put a bullet in the cock sucker cause we all know Phil will let him out
Families that go to the prosecutor’s trying to protect their families from actual acting predators (not saying he’s not) don’t get this type of justice. He’s a scum bag and deserves punishment but ocean county what about the tons of deals you make getting people off with actual committed crimes of this nature? Grand jury approved with added offenses!!! You plea them down because they don’t want it in the paper to protect their families. Because it doesn’t make press it doesn’t make you look good so you make deals with the devil and plea these scum bags out to boost your careers. Ocean county only care about cases that get press….remember plea deals make everyone look good except for justice and healing for the actual victims. Truth!
Please pm me for advocacy it’s free
Scumbag.
his poor wife and kids
There should not be any plea bargain.
MaryAnn Sutton do you know him
Yes I feel bad for his wife and children. I’d be getting divorced.
