Child who came forward with information on alleged abuse was beat multiple times with belt by Carolyn Jackson, prosecutor said.
A U.S. Army major and his wife both pleaded not guilty to torturing and abusing their children on the Picatinny Arsenal military base during an appearance in federal court on Thursday, according to The Star-Ledger. John Jackson, 37, and Carolyn Jackson, 35, of Mount Holly, are currently out on $250,000 bail each. They have been ordered not to have contact with the adopted children they are accused of abusing or their three biological children after a 17-count indictment claims they abused two adopted kids for years by breaking their bones, withholding water from them, force-feeding them hot sauce and denying them medical attention.

Search for man called off after investigation reveals incident never happened, authorities report.
The search for a man who allegedly tried luring a teen boy into his car recently has ended, but not because he was found. Mount Olive police reported Wednesday that a claim made Friday by a 13-year-old boy from the Flanders section of Mount Olive was false. New Jersey State Police assisted in the initial investigation by creating a composite sketch of the man who the Flanders boy said tried to lure him – a white male in his 40s with a buzz cut driving a white van – and released it to the public and media on Monday. “While this event has been determined to be false, the Mt. Olive Township Police Department encourages all parents and caregivers to discuss safety and stranger issues with their children,” Officer Michael Russell said. “The …
