Little Egg Harbor Man Hit With Child Porn Charges

A Little Egg Harbor Township man is facing two counts of receiving child pornography.

A release from the US Attorney's New Jersey Office states Matthew Wolny, 40, has been charged  with two counts of receiving child pornography.

Wolny was scheduled to be in court yesterday to face the complaint which states:

In September 2013, Wolny, who was then living in Jackson, New Jersey, used peer to peer file sharing software on his computer to download video files containing images of child sexual abuse from the internet. When law enforcement officers searched Wolny's Jackson residence and his car in September 2013, they seized numerous electronic devices containing approximately 2,000 images and 1,600 videos of suspected child pornography.

Wolney could face 5 to 20 years in prison, plus a fine up to $250,000.
