NJ Man Arrested In Paramus On Child Porn Charges: Prosecutor

PARAMUS, NJ — A New Milford man was arrested in Paramus Tuesday after authorities say he used the internet to view and download sexually explicit images of minors.

According to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, Angelo J. DeCarlo, an account executive and volunteer firefighter, used online chat forums and other apps to converse with underage girls.

Those conversations often led to the exchange of nude or sexually explicit images of minors, the Prosecutor's Office said.

DeCarlo also used the internet to download and share digital files containing images of minors, and engaged in "sexually explicit" video chats, authorities said.

He was arrested as part of an investigation into internet child pornography, led by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Cyber Crimes Unit.

That investigation is ongoing.

DeCarlo is charged with distributing and possessing child pornography, endangering the welfare of a child and promoting obscenity to a minor.

As of Tuesday, DeCarlo was remanded to Bergen County Jail while awaiting a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
