Justin K. Kinchen, 20, was taken into custody following a raid at his home in the Elmwood Terrace apartments, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

Cyber Crimes Unit investigators found the trove of images “depicting nude and/or sexually explicit prepubescent and pubescent children,” Musella said, 8,215 of which he “used several social media and file-sharing applications to share with others.”

Kinchen remained held Thursday in the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography.

Musella thanked Elmwood Park police for their assistance.
