Carlos Diaz Rojas POINT PLEASANT BEACH -- A Point Pleasant Beach man was arrested early Thursday on charges he had hundreds of images and videos of child pornography on his computer, authorities said.
Carlos Diaz Rojas, 54, was taken into custody at his Philadelphia Avenue home. Members of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office's High Tech Crime Unit and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations searched the residence, said Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato.
Investigators, including Point Pleasant Beach police, seized Rojas' computers and hard drives, which contained hundreds of videos and images of prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts, Coronato said.
Rojas was charged with third-degree possession of child pornography and was being held on $100,000 bail, the prosecutor said. He said Rojas, who has been living illegally in the United States, is also subject to an immigration detainer if he posts bail.
