TRENTON - Attorney General Anne Milgram and Criminal Justice Director Deborah Gramiccioni announced that a Middlesex County man was indicted today for allegedly distributing child pornography on the Internet. The defendant was among more than three dozen people arrested in October as part of “Operation Silent Shield,” an investigation that targeted offenders who distributed known images and videos of child pornography via the Internet.

According to Director Gramiccioni, the Division of Criminal Justice obtained a state grand jury indictment charging Luis Rosado, 29, of Middlesex, with two counts of second-degree distributing of pornography and one count of fourth-degree possession of child pornography.

The indictment alleges that between May and September 2007, Rosado knowingly possessed child pornography on his computer. The indictment also charges that on May 7, 2007, Rosado knowingly used Internet file sharing software to make multiple videos containing child pornography readily available for any other user to download from a designated “shared folder” on his computer. One of those videos was downloaded by an undercover detective from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force of the New Jersey State Police.

On Sept. 26, 2007, members of the New Jersey State Police executed a search warrant at Rosado’s home. The search revealed videos depicting child pornography on Rosado's computer.

The Digital Technology Investigation Unit of the New Jersey State Police coordinated the investigation. Deputy Attorney Mark Murtha presented the case to the state grand jury.

The indictment is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Second-degree crimes carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison and a $150,000 fine, while fourth-degree crimes carry a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
