BUTLER, NJ (Morris County) – The owner of Morley’s Magic Theater in Butler has been charged for alleged possession of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll.
Scott Morley, 48, of Butler was charged on May 15 with third-degree endangering the welfare of a child (possession of CSAM), Carroll said.
