FLEMINGTON, NJ (Hunterdon County) – A Flemington man was charged for allegedly possessing child pornography, according to Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée M. Robeson.
A cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (“NCMEC”) led to an investigation by the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office’s Forensic Services Unit, the Raritan Township Police Department, and the Flemington Borough Police Department that resulted in the arrest of 31-year-old Francisco Berrones-Galicia, Robeson said.
Berrones-Galicia was charged on March 13 with third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material. He was then lodged in the Warren County Jail and later released on conditional pretrial monitoring, Robeson said.
Third-degree charges may result in criminal penalties including, but not limited to, a term of imprisonment between three and five years and a fine not to exceed $15,000.
