WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey police officer who prosecutors say traded sexual acts for lesser charges is going to prison.

A judge in Gloucester County on Friday sentenced former Monroe Township Patrolman Robert Marzi to two concurrent three-year sentences. The 30-year-old will be eligible for parole in two years.

Under a plea agreement, Marzi pleaded guilty to official misconduct.

Prosecutors say Marzi was on duty when he offered to help a woman with her charges in 2016 in exchange for a sex act. Prosecutors say he offered to help another woman with her motor vehicle citation later that year if she performed a similar act.

2. Going to be a long two years in prison.

I hear former LEOs are not seen in a kindly light in prison.

4. official misconduct?

not even a sex crime? He won't have to register as a sex offender?

What this guy did was equivalent to rape/forced sodomy (depending on the act they are talking about).

Who, not wearing a badge and gun, would get off so lightly?

If I did that, I'd be facing 15 years min.

He will probably go to some min security country club facility for white collar criminals. He will probably be out in less than a year.

Disgusting.
