BurlCo Man Charged With Possessing Child Pornography: Official

MT. LAUREL TOWNSHIP, NJ — A Mt. Laurel Township man was arrested and charged Wednesday with possessing child sexual abuse material, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said.

Several police departments began investigating Joshua Hudson in November after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children made them aware of Hudson's online activities, a press release said.

During this investigation, law enforcement officials discovered Hudson used an "online data storage system" to keep child sexual abuse materials, according to authorities.

"Multiple electronic devices were seized" during the investigation, which will also be inspected by the police, the district attorney said.

Hudson was sent to the Burlington County Prison pending a detention hearing in Superior Court, according to authorities.
