EHT man pleads guilty to second child pornography case

  • News

An Egg Harbor Township man pleaded guilty to possession and distribution of child sexual assault materials.

William Roman Jr., 36, previously served a 364-day sentence for similar charges in 2017.

He was arrested in July, after an investigation sparked by a referral from SnapChat, where he was sharing child sexual assault material.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office High-Tech Crimes Unit, which investigated with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations-Atlantic City and Egg Harbor Township police.

The plea calls for a 12-year prison sentence. Roman is eligible for an extended term due to his previous conviction. He will also be registered as a Megan's Law offender.

Roman is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 7.
