Agents seized a computer and various storage devices from the home of Justin Madia, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said.
“The electronic storage devices contained peer-to-peer network software and multiple images of child pornography, including images of prepubescent children being sexually abused,” Carpenito said.
Madia, whose LinkedIn profile said he’d most recently worked as an IKEA customer service manager after nearly 16 years at Best Buy, is charged with receipt of child pornography.
A U.S. District judge in Newark released Madia on home detention with electronic monitoring following a hearing Thursday afternoon in Newark.
Carpenito credited FBI agents, Hillsdale police, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Cyber Crimes Unit and the N.J. Regional Computer Forensic Lab with the investigation.
Handling the case for the government is Assistant U.S. Attorney Sophie Reiter of Carpenito’s Public Protection Unit in Newark.
