Sex predator allegations bring change to Ocean City Beach Patrol
Mayor Jay A. Gillian said he has started to make changes to the Ocean City Beach Patrol to deal with anonymous allegations of sexual abuse made on an Instagram account.
Many of the posts to the page called ocbp predators describe men in their 30s and 40s taking advantage of 16- and 17-year-old female lifeguards. There are frequent mentions of drugs and alcohol, teen guards being sexualized and the teens waking up not aware of what happened the night before.
Gillian said that while the Cape May County Prosecutor s Office continues its investigation, mayoral aide Michael Allegretto has been appointed to oversee the operation of the the Beach Patrol and has two immediate tasks.

The notion of funding beach activities through corporate sponsorships is hardly new. Treating lifeguard towers like bus-bench advertising, for instance, has been floating around since the 1990s.
Back in 1992, then-Beach Director Joe Waller pitched a wide range of corporate sponsorship possibilities for the beach. For example, Hawaiian Tropic might pay the county to put its logos on lifeguard towers, The News-Journal reported in November 1993. Enlisting beach-toll collectors to hand out product samples was also floated.
