A Burlington City man was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.
Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and Police Chief Anthony Wallace announced Gerard Cameron, 41, was charged with three counts of child endangerment.
The distribution charge is considered a second-degree crime. The two counts of possession are third-degree charges.
Cameron, of the 900 block of Olive Street, is a master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. His case will be turned over to a grand jury to determine if there's enough evidence to move forward with the case.
Investigators allege Cameron downloaded multiple images of child pornography onto his home computer, in addition to using software to make the material available online for others to download.
The Burlington City Police Department, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office High-Tech Crimes Unit, the Pennsylvania State Police Computer Crime Unit and the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations are among the agencies working on the case.
Cameron was in Burlington County Jail on $100,000 bail. If he posts bail, the Burlington City resident will be forbidden from using the Internet or having contact with minors.
