A judge on Tuesday ordered that Delbin Almando Noesi Gonzalez, 39, remain held in the Passaic County Jail pending further court action following his arrest last week.
Members of Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force seized several devices during a raid of Noesi Gonzalez's home -- among them, a cellphone containing child porn videos and images, the sheriff said.
Noesi Gonzalez used Facebook to distribute images of nude children -- from a few months to 14 years old -- being sexually abused, Berdnik said.
Detectives charged Noesi Gonzalez with being the leader of a child pornography network, as well as with possessing, maintaining and sharing child porn, the sheriff said, adding that additional charges were possible.
The charges against the city auto repair and tire service shop mechanic "are serious and hopefully will prevent the further exploitation of children,” Berdnik said.
