Jon P. Pilger, 49, of Bayonne, New Jersey, who has been a longshoreman since 2006, had his Longshoreman Registration temporarily suspended today by the Waterfront Commission, pending an administrative hearing, following his arrest on March 25, 2022 by the Bayonne Police Department.

According to Bayonne Police Department reports, Pilger made sexually explicit statements to and engaged in sexual conduct with a child under the age of eighteen (18), and further offered to pay said child a sum of United States Currency in exchange for the child to expose her body to him.
