DUMONT, NJ — A man who grew up in Secaucus and now lives in Dumont was arrested last week and charged with possessing online sexual photos of children, said Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella.
Nicholas Farinola, 45, of Dumont was charged with possession of child sexual abuse material and endangering the welfare of a child.
He was arrested Nov. 4.
Prosecutors said that on April 22, the prosecutor's Cyber Crimes Unit received a cyber tip from the Dumont Police Department about Farinola being in possession of child pornography.
Over months, investigators searched Farinola's devices.
They determined that he viewed, saved, downloaded or possessed items depicting nude or sexually explicit prepubescent and pubescent children, prosecutors said.
