Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw and Mount Laurel Township Police Chief Timothy Hudnall announced that a 23-year-old Mount Laurel man was arrested today and charged with possessing images and videos containing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

Robert Nault was taken into custody this morning during the execution of a search warrant at his residence and charged with Possession of CSAM (Third Degree). Electronic devices were seized from his residence and will be examined by investigators from the High-Tech Crimes Unit. He was released following a first appearance in Superior Court in Mount Holly. The case will now be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.

The investigation began after the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit received information from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children concerning Nault’s online activities. The investigation revealed that Nault accessed links to images and videos containing CSAM and downloaded files to an online storage system he maintained.

The investigation further revealed that Nault previously worked as a summer counselor at Camp Ockanickon for Boys, as well as the School’s Out Program, both of which are run by the YMCA of the Pines.

Anyone with information concerning potentially illegal activities involving this defendant is asked to send an email to the BCPO at tips@co.burlington.nj.us, or contact the Mount Laurel Police Department at Tips@mountlaurelpd.org, or the Medford Township Police Department at Info@medfordpolice.org.

Nault has not been accused of any offenses related to inappropriate physical contact with minors.

The investigation was conducted by the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Mount Laurel Police Department and United States Homeland Security Investigations – Cherry Hill Office. The lead investigator is BCPO HTCU Detective Tiffany Lenart.

Nault will be prosecuted by the BCPO Special Victims Unit. The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office belongs to the New Jersey Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
