Blake Ryan Ballinger, 27, became the target of an investigation beginning in January after the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency “received information that an adult male named Blake had inappropriate sexual contact with a juvenile,” Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo said Monday.

Ballinger was later extradited from New Hampshire and was being held in the Bergen County Jail.
