⬛ NJ teen busted for creating AI-generated nudes of fellow classmates

MONTGOMERY — A Somerset County teenager has been arrested and charged after creating and sharing artificial intelligence (AI) generated nude images of fellow students, New Jersey State Police have confirmed.

Detectives took the 17-year-old boy into custody on St. Patrick’s Day following a search of a home in Montgomery Township. Details are still few.

⬛ NJ man who killed a mom of 3 with a shot to the head gets 60 years in prison

MILLVILLE — A 42-year-old city resident will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for the brutal killing of a mother of three children.

On Wednesday, Edwin Ramos-Rosado, of Millville, was sentenced to 60 years for the first-degree murder of 35-year-old Ramy Garcia in the yard of their home on North 4th Street.

Witnesses told Millville police that on the afternoon of Nov. 2, 2022, the couple struggled over an illegal handgun that belonged to Ramos-Rosado — before he ultimately shot the victim in the head, according to an affidavit filed by investigators.

Following a trial this past winter, Ramos-Rosado was found guilty by a jury of first-degree murder and two second-degree weapons offenses.

⬛ NJ cold case victim ID’d after nearly 50 years, police seek tips

New Jersey State Police need the public’s help with a Salem County cold case homicide investigation dating back to the 1970s.

On June 2, 1979, the body of an unidentified man was found in a shallow grave off a dirt road in a wooded area near Jericho Road in Quinton Township.

The victim had a gunshot wound to the head, and police estimated the time of death was during the winter of 1978-1979.

The case went cold until nearly 50 years later, when in March 2023, the victim was identified as Robert Dean Irelan, who had lived in Pleasantville and was known to have spent time in Atlantic City.

Now, State Police is asking anyone with information or who may have known Irelan to contact them.

⬛ NJ nuclear plants to make radioactive isotope vital for cancer care

LOWER ALLOWAYS CREEK — The Salem County nuclear plants that provide 40% of the state's electricity have another gift to give.

Earlier this month, Gov. Mikie Sherrill cleared the way for New Jersey to build new nuclear plants. Generating stations could take a decade to build and get online. Last year, then-Gov. Phil Murphy signed off on exploring new nuclear technology, including small modular reactors that could be built faster.

Now, starting this year, PSEG’s Salem nuclear generating station will produce a chemical element vital for the medical field. It's the first time that pressurized water nuclear reactors will make the synthetic isotope on a commercial scale in the United States.

Cobalt-60 is used to sterilize more than 16 billion single-use medical devices in the U.S. each year, including syringes, surgical gloves, catheters, and heart valves. It's also used in radiation therapy to treat cancer.
