Linwood man charged with distributing child pornography

  • News

A Linwood man was arrested this week for sharing images of children as young as newborns engaged in sexual acts, acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Diane Ruberton said Thursday.
Brian Posner, 31, is charged with endangering the welfare of children by distributing the photos over the internet, Ruberton said.
A two-week investigation found Posner distributed “multiple pictures of juvenile females involved in prohibited sexual acts, specifically well over 50 files (depicting) females as young as newborns engaged in sexual acts,” the charge states.
The investigation was conducted by the Prosecutor's Office Computer Crimes Unit, Linwood Police Department and U.S. Probation Office in Camden.
Posner was arrested at his home on the 700 block of Maple Avenue on Wednesday without incident, Ruberton said.
The crime is second-degree and carries a potential sentence of five to 10 years in prison.
He is being held on $100,000 full cash bail.
