DA: Repeat offender arrested for child sex abuse material crimes in Camden County
CAMDEN COUNTY, N.J. - A Camden County man with a previous criminal history has been arrested and charged for possessing child sexual abuse photos and videos.
Officials say 38-year-old Matthew Knapp, of Lindenwold, New Jersey, was found with child sex abuse material on his computer, three hard drives and a flash drive. Some of the suspected images included prepubescent children.
Evidence was recovered after photos and images were traced back to Knapp's home during an investigation last year, according to the U.S. District Attorney's Office.
