A New Jersey man has pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography after instructing a woman to send him photos of herself molesting kids, which he then posted on the internet, Ocean County prosecutors said Wednesday. Logan Oliveira, 23, of Toms River, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced. Oliveira first drew state authorities’ attention when the National Center for Missing Exploited Children passed a cyber-tip to the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force earlier this year “that an individual was uploading and distributing images of child pornography to the internet across various internet platforms,” the county prosecutor said. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Squad homed in on Oliveira’s cellphone as the source of the uploaded images. Investigators soon learned the photos came from 20-year-old Julianna Goldstein of Berkeley Township, who was sending Oliveira “nude photos of juveniles” on his orders. Her electronic devices also held “several items of child pornography,” leading to their arrests on April 29. Police charged Goldstein with the possession, manufacturing and distribution of child pornography, conspiracy to manufacture child pornography, and criminal sexual contact. Both were held briefly then released, prosecutors said, but Oliveira violated the terms of his release and was hauled back to jail on June 12. Goldstein’s charges are still pending. Prosecutors will seek one five-year, parole-ineligible but concurrent prison sentence for each charge when Oliveira is sentenced on Feb. 20. After that, he’ll be subject to supervised parole for life and must register as a Megan’s Law Offender, the prosecutor’s statement said. Oliveira’s guilty plea landed on the same day that a Jersey City man was arrested for allegedly sending racy photos to a juvenile outside the U.S. Experts have been warning of a sharp escalation in online child exploitation, with cases nearly doubling between the first six months of last year and the same period this year, according to statistics compiled by the National Center for Missing Exploited Children. ...read more read less
