A New Jersey man was arrested for possession of child pornography in September—and state police now say that he had the largest cache of child porn ever found in the state.
Charles Diggs, a 36-year-old man from Roselle, New Jersey, was arrested on September 3rd. After police searched all of his electronic devices, they recovered 325,000 images and videos of child pornography.
"Diggs allegedly had the most child pornography ever found in a state investigation—more than four times the prior record," New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porino said in a statement. "It's heartbreaking to think of the many thousands of children who were raped and robbed of their innocence to create the images and videos he allegedly possessed."
A police investigation into Diggs began in September, after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children got a tip about a Twitter account that was uploading child pornography. Diggs has been indicted on second-degree distribution of child pornography and third-degree possession of more than 100 files of child pornography.
