Former South Jersey Cop Sentenced For Having Sex With Informant

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) — A southern New Jersey police officer will not have to serve a prison term for using his position to engage in sexual conduct with a female informant.

Steven Hadley received a suspended five-year term when he was sentenced Friday.

Hadley, who served 10 years on the Egg Harbor City force, had pleaded guilty in October to official misconduct as part of a plea bargain with Atlantic County prosecutors. In return, they agreed to dismiss four other counts of official misconduct.

Hadley was paralyzed in a car crash that occurred on September 24, 2013, the same day the charges were filed against him. Authorities have said Hadley's pickup left the Garden State Parkway and struck a tree.

The 32-year-old Port Republic resident spent seven months in the hospital following the crash.
