Man Charged With Having Child Pornography In Somerset County

MONTGOMERY, NJ — A Belle Mead man was charged with having child pornography on an online cloud storage account, said Somerset County Prosecutor John P. McDonald.

Brett Ajamian, 29, was charged with third-degree possession of child sexual abuse materials in Montgomery.

In January, the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office was tipped off to files depicting the sexual abuse and/or exploitation of a minor on an online cloud storage account.

Ajamian was identified as being connected with this online cloud storage account following an investigation by detectives with the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Computer Crimes Unit.

On Jan. 27, authorities searched Ajamian’s home in Belle Mead, where they took electronic devices for further forensic analysis.

Ajamian was then arrested in Branchburg and charged. He was lodged at the Somerset County Jail and was later released from custody after making an appearance in Superior Court.

McDonald thanked members of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office for their initial involvement and help with this investigation.
