TRENTON - Governor Jon S. Corzine today issued the following statement regarding the resignation of Neil Cohen from the Legislature:

“The allegations made concerning former Assemblyman Cohen are deeply disturbing. All of us who have worked with him are shocked by the reports. Child pornography reflects a horrible debasement of children that is totally intolerable. Creating, distributing and using child pornography should be pursued vigorously by law enforcement wherever it is found."
