BERKELEY – A township man, who uploaded child pornography pictures to the internet, will remain detained in the Ocean County Jail, officials said.
Joseph Asfor, 45, was previously charged with Possession of Child Pornography and Obstruction of Justice.
Authorities identified an IP address associated with Asfor’s home in Berkeley Township as a location of someone uploading images of child pornography to the internet. Detectives ultimately identified the individual as Asfor.
On March 27, police searched the home and spoke with Asfor outside, who was acting erratically – and detectives feared for his safety. As a result, Asfor was arrested and transported to Berkeley Township Police Headquarters.
An initial examination of Asfor’s cell phone led to the discovery of several items of child pornography. Asfor was placed under arrest at Berkeley Township Police Headquarters.
The charges referenced are merely accusations and the public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
