A Somerset County music teacher was arrested Tuesday morning after FBI agents allegedly found child pornographic images on his home computer.
Cliff Ramsay, 30, of Raritan is charged on two counts: one for accessing child sexual abuse images and one for possessing them, according to U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fisherman.
On Feb. 25 and Feb. 27, the middle school teacher accessed a pornographic website and viewed images and other content relating to child sexual abuse, according to the criminal complaint.
After the complaint was reviewed, FBI agents obtained a search warrant for Ramsay's home and discovered various forms of child pornography, officials say. Ramsay appeared before a judge in Trenton Tuesday afternoon and was detained pending a bail hearing.
Both charges are accompanied by a maximum 20-year prison sentence as well as a $250,000 fine.
The investigation of the allegations is ongoing.
