Joseph Suarez, of West New York, was sentenced to 15 years in prison last week after he pleaded guilty to instructing a 13-year-old boy to sexually abuse a 4-year-old girl and send him recordings of it, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.
Suarez disseminated footage from the out-of-state boy over the social media platform Discord, Esther Suarez said.
He pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child/facilitating child sex abuse material, Suarez said. Under state law, Joseph must serve at least 85 percent of the sentence.
A search of Suarez's home turned up more than 1,000 files of child sex abuse material, the prosecutor said.
