Sparrow's arrest followed an investigation by the Special Victims Unit that began on Oct. 19, after the photos were found on Sparrow’s computer by a technician at a Jersey City retailer who notified police.

Prosecutor Suarez credited the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and the Jersey City Police Department for the investigation and arrest.
