Prosecutors: Man Had Hundreds of Child Porn Images

RAHWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Prosecutors say hundreds of computer files depicting children pornography were found when authorities executed a search warrant at a northern New Jersey home.

Ian Steingraber of Rahway was charged Friday with possessing and distributing child porn. His bail was set at $75,000 and it was not known Saturday if the 22-year-old Steingraber has retained an attorney.

Union County prosecutors say the arrest culminated a three-month investigation that began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children provided a tip to the New Jersey Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which was established earlier this year.

Besides allegedly possessing the child porn, authorities say Steingraber also shared some of the files with others online.
