Berlin man indicted for 65 child sex offenses

Keith Andrew Mariani, 60 of Berlin, was indicted and is being held without bond on more than 60 charges, including second-degree rape, sex abuse of a minor, and child pornography, Worcester County States Attorney Kris Heiser confirmed on Tuesday.

According to court documents, Mariani was originally charged on March 27 with five counts, including sex abuse of a minor and sexual solicitation of a minor, both felony charges.

However, on April 23 a notice of criminal indictment was sent to the Worcester County District Court in Snow Hill, asking his case to be set to “Nolle Prosequi,” a legal phase meaning “do not prosecute.”

The criminal indictment, filed the same day by a Worcester County Grand Jury, included two counts of sex abuse of a minor, two counts of second-degree rape, five counts of third-degree sex offenses, 10 counts of filming child pornography, one charge of displaying obscene materials to minors, and 44 counts of possessing child pornography.
