Bergen Man Had Cyber Sex With Child: Prosecutor

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — A Lodi man is accused of having cyber sex with a child and downloading nude photos and videos of them from the internet.

Aris Gungormez, 21, was arrested Thursday on local and state charges after an investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Florida, and the U.S. Attorney's Office, said acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo.

While conducting the investigation authorities learned that Gungormez engaged in "sexually explicit online conduct" with at least one child and collected nude photos and videos of that child, Calo said.

Investigators from the prosecutor's office Cyber Crimes Unit and the Broward County Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at Gungormez's home, Calo said.

The investigation revealed that Gungormez used the internet to view and try to distribute files showing nude and sexually explicit prepubescent and pubescent children, Calo said.

Gungormez was charged with possession of child pornography in an amount greater than 100 files, but less than 1,000. He was transferred to federal custody, Calo said.

He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer in connection with the federal charges and was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending a pre-trial detention hearing.

Parents or guardians who suspect their child may have communicated with the online screen names "Spartan60," "Spartian87," "Spartans90," "MikeBeeFootball875628," "Harry1838," "Kingman877," or "Kingboi877," are asked to call the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Cyber Crimes Unit at 201-226-5518 or the Broward County Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force at 954-888-5240.
