A former Hamilton police officer charged with recording child sexual abuse was found dead early Tuesday in a state park in Hopewell Township, authorities said.
Brian DiBiasi, 40, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the southern area of Washington Crossing State Park, near the Delaware River, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed.
DiBiasi and his wife, Elizabeth DiBiasi, 43, were arrested in…
It seems to me that the civilian population has much more internal fortitude when it comes to accepting responsibility for their offenses. I’m always reading about law enforcement and politicians taking their own lives when faced with incarceration and the registry, but a lot fewer civilians doing so. That doesn’t say much for who we elect or count on to keep communities safe. I guess that fall from grace is farther when one thinks they are above it all.
The higher up on the ladder, the harder they hit.
Hey look at that! Now those kids will grow up with some family member and trauma far FAR worse than just seeingsome sex act, all because some clowns couldn’t keep their noses out of their personal lives. Great job!
I recall on the day that my house was searched, 13 years ago, an article appeared in that day’s newspaper announcing the suicide of a well-respected fireman of 30 years under the same circumstances as myself, and Mr. DiBiasi. I swore to myself, at that time, that my fate would not be the same. So far, so good.
Not the most important point, but the article above mis-leads somewhat as the late Mr. DiBiasi was in fact an active, sworn law enforcement officer at the time he offended (CSAM), which was in Jan. 2025. Of course, he was fired so that all subsequent references to him now characterize him as “former-” or “ex-” l.e. officer.
This doesn’t make a whole lot of difference, but as we all know, those who society tends to elevate to positions of a higher status or authority (politicians, law enforcement, military brass, billionaires, etc.) are not guaranteed higher morality. While many of these folks do live up to their calling, some fail, and fail badly, as have many, if not all, of us.
I feel it is a bad mistake to gloat or take any degree of pleasure over the tragic ending to this man’s life. He was a human being and I take no satisfaction that his life ended as tragically as it did, irrespective of his form of employment. There, but for the grace of God, go I.
Well I guess only law enforcement agencies and public servants know how bad life on the registry really is. Hats off to everyone who stood up like a man and took there punishment.
Congratulations on still being here fighting and holding on to your own self respect. Don’t let them brake you
