Two different New Jersey men have been separately accused of using online file-sharing programs to distribute child pornography videos — some involving very young victims.

On Wednesday, 27-year-old Marcevan Manasse, of Somerville, was charged with allegedly distributing videos and images of child sexual abuse, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael Honig announced.

Over a two-month span from September through November 2020, Manasse shared images and video files of child sexual abuse, involving victims as young as 5 years old, via a publicly available online peer-to-peer file-sharing network, according to a criminal complaint.

Law enforcement carried out a search at Manasse’s home in April, and recovered a computer tower with evidence linking him to roughly two dozen files of child abuse.

He appeared by videoconference in Newark federal court and was released on $100,000 unsecured bond.

Child porn, public Wi-Fi

On Monday, 79-year-old William Geisz, of Edison, was arrested and charged with first-degree using a file-sharing program to store items depicting the sexual exploitation or abuse of children, among other counts, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.

Investigators said Geisz used the public Wi-Fi at various retail locations in Edison, Woodbridge, and East Brunswick to upload and distribute images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation or abuse of children.

Geisz also was charged with second-degree distribution of child pornography, second-degree possession of child pornography, and disorderly persons lewdness.

If convicted, Manasse could face between five to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Anyone with information connected to the Geisz case, which was still an active investigation, has been asked to contact the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-745-5924.

NJ arrests 31 accused child predators in "Operation 24/7"

A roundup of 31 men have been accused of sexually exploiting children online, state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced on July 14 while detailing "Operation 24/7."

The suspects “possessed and or distributed videos and images of child sexual abuse, including in many cases videos of young children being raped by adults,” Grewal said.

Chat apps and gaming platforms remain favorite hunting grounds for child predators and even as the pandemic winds down, many children have continued to spend more time online.

State Police received 39% more tips in just the first 6 months of 2021 than they received in the entire year in 2019. The following are suspects charged in "Operation 24/7."
