YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: Authorities today detained a 16-year-old boy from Garfield who they said trafficked in online child pornography.
Delinquent complaints charging the boy with child endangerment were signed, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said.
Molinelli said the teen “was using the Internet to acquire and transmit images and/or video files depicting child pornography.”
“In this case,” he said, “the child pornography consisted of numerous images and/or videos of pre-pubescent children engaged in sexual acts.
“The juvenile was released into the custody of his mother after being charged,” the prosecutor added.
Participating in his Computer Crimes Task Force, Molinelli said, were police officers from Bogota, Oradell and Waldwick.
