New Jersey Man Pleads Guilty To Child Porn Distribution

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- According to federal prosecutors, a central New Jersey man has admitted sharing numerous images of child sexual abuse online.

Armia Alber, of East Brunswick, recently pleaded guilty to distributing child porn.

The 28-year-old admitted that between March and July 2013, he was a member of an online peer-to-peer file sharing network and had more than 600 images or videos of children being sexually abused.

Prosecutors said during that period a law enforcement agent successfully downloaded multiple images and videos from Alber's home computer.

In July 2013, federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at Alber's home and seized two computer hard drives.

Alber faces between five and 20 years when he's sentenced on Dec. 16, and will have to register as a sex offender.
