77-year-old Cape May County, NJ, Man Facing Child Porn Charge

A 77-year-old man from Ocean View was arrested last week after a search warrant allegedly uncovered videos of suspected child abuse material in his home.

Authorities say Raymond E. Parsons came under investigation after multiple anonymous tips were made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children through their cyber tips program.

The investigation resulted in officials obtaining a search warrant and conducting a search of Parson's home.

At the time of the search, multiple computers were taken into custody along with items showing alleged suspected sexual child abuse.

The search party included members of the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations, members of the NJ State Police Woodbine Barracks, and the NJ State Police K-9 Unit.

Parsons was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography in the third degree. He is being held in the Cape May County Correctional Facility, pending court proceedings.

People charged with a third-degree crime are subject to a term of imprisonment of three to five years in state prison.
