Cyber Crimes Unit detectives and village police seized John Bianchini during a warranted search of his Highland Place home, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Detectves also seized 11 ounces of pot, he said.
Bianchini was targeted after an investigation found that he “used the Internet, including the ‘Dark Web’ (also referred to as the ‘Darknet’), to view, download, or possess approximately 2,908 digital files depicting nude and/or sexually explicit prepubescent children,” Musella said.
