Gloucester County Man Charged with Possession of Child Pornography

CAMDEN, N.J. – A Gloucester County, New Jersey, man was charged today with  possession of child pornography, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.

Kyle Daniel Reese, 29, of Williamstown, New Jersey, is charged by complaint with one count of possession of child pornography. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Pascal in Camden federal court and was detained.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

In October and November 2020, while Reese was serving a term of home detention due to a prior federal conviction for receipt of child pornography, Reese accessed child pornography using his iPhone. The child pornography was subsequently uncovered after his iPhone was seized by Reese’s probation officer. A search of the phone revealed 86 files containing child pornography.

The count of possession of child pornography carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison, a maximum of 20 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000.

U.S. Attorney Sellinger credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jacqueline Maguire in Philadelphia, with the investigation leading to today’s charge.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph McFarlane of the Camden office.

The charge and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
