Ocean County Pair Made And Distributed Child Porn: Prosecutor

TOMS RIVER, NJ — A Toms River man and a Berkeley Township woman are accused of taking sexual photos of children and then distributing the child pornography, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday.

Logan A. Oliveira, 23, of Toms River, and Julianna E Goldstein, 20, of Berkeley Township, were arrested Tuesday, Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.

Authorities investigating a referral from the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force identified a cell phone number linked to a Toms River residence as one being used to upload and distribute child pornography, the prosecutor's office said. The person using the phone was identified as Oliveira, authorities said.

Investigators then learned Oliveira was communicating frequently with a cell phone number that belonged to Goldstein, the prosecutor's office said. Authorities looking as messages sent between the two found Goldstein was sending nude photos of children to Oliveira, and that he had told Goldstein to touch a child in an inappropriate way and take photos of herself doing so, then she was to send the photos to Oliveira, they said.

Search warrants executed at Oliveira's home and on his electronics on Tuesday turned up several items of child pornography, authorities said.

A similar search at Goldstein’s home and on her electronic devices also turned up several items of child pornography, the prosecutor's office said.

Oliveira has been charged with distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography and conspiracy to manufacture child pornography, prosecutors said.

Goldstein has been charged with distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography, manufacturing child pornography, conspiracy to manufacture child pornography, and criminal sexual contact, prosecutors said.

Both are being held at the Ocean County Jail in Toms River pending detention hearings.

The Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations, Toms River and Berkeley Township police, the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, NJ State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children collaborated on the investigation.
