South Jersey Man Charged With 27 Child Sex & Drug Crimes

A South Jersey man is facing a laundry list of charges after being accused of sexually assaulting two minors and being caught with close to 300 photos and videos of child sexual abuse.

William I. McCray, 25, of Monroe Township, Gloucester County, was charged with 27 counts of sex crimes against minors on Monday, according to a statement from the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.

He was arrested at his home on Dec. 3, 2025.

During a search warrant at the home, police found drugs and multiple cell phones that contained many of the sexual abuse images.

Police Have ID'd Several Victims

Several minor victims have been identified from photos, videos, and chat messages found during the search.
