Mt. Laurel man charged with child porn possession, distribution

Authorities in Burlington County, New Jersey have arrested and charged a Mt. Laurel man with possession and distribution of child pornography.

Thomas M. Evans, 32, was arrested Wednesday and is now facing a long list of charges following an investigation that lasted nearly a year.

Authorities say the investigation began with federal authorities in the fall of 2015.

Investigators say Evans downloaded multiple images of child pornography on his home computer and also used file sharing software to make the material available for others to download online.

Evans was arrested Wednesday following a search of his home, and was held on $150,000 bail.
