Hudson County Man Uploaded Hundreds Of Child Sex Photos: Prosecutors

BAYONNE, NJ — A 28-year-old Hudson County man was arrested last week after investigators discovered hundreds of explicit photos of children uploaded to his social media accounts, prosecutors said.

Anthony Santiago was arrested and charged Wednesday with third-degree possession of child sex abuse material, said the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office.

Prosecutors said that the county Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force was notified in July 2024 that child sex abuse materials were being uploaded onto someone's Snapchat account.

Detectives investigating the tip discovered "hundreds of child sex abuse materials associated with Santiago’s online accounts and on his electronic devices," prosecutors said.

Santiago was taken to the Hudson County jail to await a court appearance, prosecutors said.
