William Edson, of Mays Landing, was sentenced to five years in New Jersey State Prison on Thursday, June 8, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
He must serve the entire five-year sentence before being released.
In February 2022, the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force was notified of suspicious activities occurring on the KIK social media platform in December.
Detectives linked approximately 700 videos shared over KIK to Edson, the prosecutor said.
Videos matching those shared online were ultimately found on devices seized from Edson, and he admitted to detectives that he had shared the videos via his KIK account, the prosecutor said.
