John M. Tucceri, 62, was arrested by members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Cyber Crimes Unit who searched his Fairview home earlier this month, county Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Tucceri – whose family has owned and operated the 8th Street Tavern on Washington Street for 50 years -- “used the Internet to view, download, possess and distribute files depicting nude and/or sexually explicit prepubescent children,” Musella said.
Detectives charged Tucceri with possessing and distributing the images, then sent him to the Bergen County Jail. A Superior Court judge in Hackensack released him hours later, with conditions, pending further court action, records show.
Musella thanked Fairview police for their assistance – as well as the Lyndhurst Police Department and Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, which both participate in his Cyber Crimes Task Force.
