Here's a news outlet write up with detail of the Jonny's crimes, btw, the fucking perv ate a SD card!

......

The criminal complaint states Newell set up a camera in a bathroom of a cabin in which he stayed with minors. The criminal complaint states that one of the minors found a camera in the bathroom, but Newell denied having put it there.

According to the criminal complaint, Newell showed a camera to investigators but there was no SD card inside. The next day, investigators took Newell to a hospital for a CT scan and a foreign object was found.

The criminal complaint states investigators found digital devices that continued numerous videos of juvenile boys showering and that in some of the videos, Newell was seen setting up the camera in the bathroom. Seven other juveniles interviewed by authorities said Newell checked their bodies for ticks.

Most of the minors said they knew Newell since they were in elementary school .....

Earlier this month, investigators wrapped up "The Case of the Perv Judge with the Sticky Ceiling" and came to the conclusion that Newell acted alone and did not distribute his pre-teen peen collection.

Jonathan Newell, a Caroline County Circuit Court judge who killed himself in September as FBI agents attempted to apprehend him on child pornography charges, did not work with other individuals in the alleged exploitation and did not distribute any images, federal and state officials said Wednesday.

The Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office, FBI, Maryland State Police, Dorchester County State’s Attorney and Caroline County State’s Attorney continued investigating Newell’s conduct after his suicide and released a statement Wednesday saying he acted alone. ........................................................

Investigators later found multiple digital devices and a hard drive that showed videos of boys showering inside Newell’s home, police said. .........................................................

I guess he just wanted a private collection to whack off too.

He was a coward.

What he did or not do or his real intentions will never be known.
