Ocean City, NJ, Man Facing Child Pornography Charges
A 61-year-old man from Ocean City was arrested last week and is facing child pornography charges.
Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland's office says Daniel C. Farrell was taken into custody last Tuesday, July 11th.
An investigation began after officials received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that revealed, "an unidentified subject, subsequently identified as Daniel C. Farrell, possessed various images of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) via his cloud account."
According to authorities, Farrell was using his cell phone to view and upload child porn images.
Farrell has been charged with third-degree possession of child pornography and second-degree distribution of child pornography.
He was processed and lodged in the Cape May County Correctional Facility pending court proceedings.
Sutherland thanked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations and the Ocean City Police Department for their assistance with this investigation.
