Pereira\u2019s home. The search was conducted at\u00a0Pereira\u2019s residence, located in the\u00a0100 block of Stuyvesant Drive in Lumberton, New Jersey, on Friday, April 21st.The investigation was prompted by the\u00a0National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which provided information as to Pereira\u2019s alleged illicit behavior online. During the course of the investigation, officials reportedly discovered that Pereira had uploaded an image of a nude young girl, which he allegedly intended to email. The search of his home turned up additional child pornography, which led to his arrest last week at his job in Mount Laurel.After charging\u00a0Pereira with\u00a0endangering the welfare of a child, he was released on his own recognizance pending additional hearings and banned from having computers, internet access, or contact with children until the case is resolved. Notably, endangering the welfare of a child charges in New Jersey encompass a broad range of conduct, including\u00a0driving while intoxicated with your child in the car and possessing or distributing child pornography.The statute that governs endangering the welfare of a child charges, found in section N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4\u00a0of the New Jersey Criminal Code, states\u00a0that it is a fourth degree crime for any person to knowingly possess or view child pornography. These offenses are punishable by up to 18 months in New Jersey State Prison. Additionally, it is a\u00a0second degree crime for a person to in any way transfer (including selling, giving, lending, etc.) child pornography. These crimes are punishable by a sentence to serve between 5 and 10 years in NJ State Prison.\u00a0Because endangering the welfare of a child offenses involving child pornography are classified as\u00a0sex crimes, a conviction may also result in mandatory sex offender registration under New Jersey\u2019s\u00a0Megan\u2019s Law.The Burlington County Prosecutor\u2019s Office will now present their case to a grand jury in Burlington County Superior Court, at which time the jury will decide whether or not to indict Mr.\u00a0Pereira.For additional information pertaining to this case, access the following resources:Lumberton Man Charged With Possession of Child Pornography26-year-old store clerk busted for child pornography, prosecutor says"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/njcriminallawdefense.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Burlington County Man Charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child in Pornography Case","item":"https:\/\/njcriminallawdefense.com\/blog\/burlington-county-man-charged-with-endangering-the-welfare-of-a-child-in-pornography-case\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
