Fair Lawn Man Allegedly Caught With 44 Hours of Child Porn, Feds Say

A Fair Lawn man was charged with distributing child pornography after federal authorities allegedly found about 200 explicit videos totaling almost 44 hours on his laptop Thursday, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.

Joshua Babilonia, 23, was arrested by special agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations Thursday morning after authorities allegedly downloaded images and videos "involving prepubescent minors and sadistic or masochistic conduct" from him over a peer-to-peer network in May.

Special agents executed a warrant at Babilonia's Fair Lawn home earlier this month, where they seized computer equipment that allegedly contained three of the same files they had previously downloaded from him.

Babilonia appeared hearing at U.S. District Court in Newark Thursday afternoon and was later released on $50,000 bail. As conditions of his release, Babilonia can have no access to children and is subject to electronic monitoring.

He faces a minimum of five years in prison and could go for as many as 20 years and have to pay a $250,000 fine.
