Convicted Atlantic City Man Admits To Child Porn Possession Again

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – An Atlantic City man who has been previously convicted of child porn possession admitted Wednesday to having images of more child sexual abuse, federal authorities said.

Cory Newman, 44, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Christine P. O’Hearn in Camden federal court to one count of possession of child pornography, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.

On May 20, 2021, Department of Homeland Security agents served a search warrant at Newman’s Atlantic City home and found electronic devices containing numerous videos and images of children being sexually abused. At least three images of child pornography “that involved a prepubescent minor and a minor who had not attained 12 years old age” was recovered, federal officials said.

Because Newman has been previously convicted of possession of child pornography, the new possession charge carries an inflated mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 4, 2023.

U.S. Attorney Sellinger thanked special agents of HSI, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Richard W. Reinhold. He also thanked the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Acting Atlantic County Prosecutor William E. Reynolds, and the Atlantic City Police Department, under the direction of Interim Officer in Charge Deputy Chief James A. Sarkos, for their assistance in the investigation.
