Riverside man arrested with child pornography: prosecutor

Brandon Troughton, of Riverside Township, was charged with child endangerment “for knowingly possessing images depicting the sexual exploitation of a child,” according to Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw.

Troughton was taken into custody at his home on Tuesday, July 2, and booked into the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly, Bradshaw said on Friday, July 5.

He was released after an initial appearance in Superior Court, she said, adding that the case will now be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.

The investigation began on an unspecified date after the BCPO’s high-tech crimes unit received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about Troughton’s online activities, the prosecutor said.

The investigation revealed that Troughton accessed child sexual abuse images and saved them on a personal electronic device, Bradshaw said.
