  BRICK – A township man working as a special police officer was arrested for uploading images of child exploitation to the internet, officials said.

  John Kisch, 57, of Brick, was charged with Possession of Child Pornography.

  Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said that local police were tipped off by a referral from the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. They, in turn, received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an IP address connected to a Brick home was the source.

  Kisch is employed as a part time Class I Special Police Officer in Brick Township, Billhimer said.

  Detectives used a search warrant on his residence and seized his computer. On this machine, police said they found more than 100 images of child pornography.

  “Kisch is alleged to have possessed images of child pornography, every image is a risk to further victimize those being depicted,” said Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark Special Agent in Charge Ricky J. Patel. “HSI special agents and our partners with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Jersey State Police will continue to bring to justice those that are engaged in any activity involving the exploitation of our innocent children.”

  “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to protect the most vulnerable among us. Children are most deserving of our unwavering commitment to investigating and prosecuting these types of offenses,” said Prosecutor Billhimer.

  He commended the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, United States Department of Homeland Security Investigations Newark, New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, for their collaborative assistance in connection with this investigation leading to Kisch’s arrest.

  Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.
