Millville, NJ, man got his ‘Kik’s by sharing child porn on app: Prosecutor

A Millville man has been arrested for allegedly sharing child porn files via a popular app for chatting.

The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office says 49-year-old John Dunigan has been charged with endangering the welfare of children for possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material.

Authorities say they recently received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children indicating that someone was using the Kik app to distribute child porn; their investigative work ultimately led to that Kik user being identified as Dunigan.

Last Friday, March 14th, officials executed a search warrant at Dunigan's home and he was taken into custody.
