BurlCo Man Had Over 340K Child Porn Files Across Multiple Hard Drives: Prosecutor

EASTAMPTON, NJ — A Burlington County man stored more than 340,000 images and videos containing child pornography across multiple hard drives, authorities said.

Lawrence Bayern, 69, was arrested at his Eastampton home on April 29 and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material. Multiple electronic devices were seized for detectives to analyze.

As investigators examined multiple storage drives and a cell phone, they discovered that Bayern had more than 100,000 files containing child pornography, which upgraded his charge to a first-degree offense.

Bayern has been detained at Burlington County Jail since his arrest, according to court records.
