Mount Laurel Man Charged with Child Pornography Possession

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 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.

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.
