Richard W. Smith, 78, of the Haskell section of Wanaque, emailed some of the images to himself, the sheriff said Friday.
Berdnik said Smith, who runs a private car service, was busted by members of his Internet Crime Against Children Task Force during a raid of his second-floor apartment on Thursday.
Smith remained held in the Passaic County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing in Paterson on charges of possessing, maintaining and sharing child pornography.
