NEWARK, N.J. – A North Jersey man has been sentenced to half a century in prison in connection with his online enticement and exploitation of minors.

Earlier this week, 39-year-old Nabeen Leigh Singha of West Orange was sentenced to 600 months' imprisonment followed by 10 years of supervised release on charges of production, receipt, and possession of child pornography.

According to federal authorities, from July 2021 through March 2022, Singha exchanged sexually explicit messages with two minor victims and paid them to create sexually explicit videos and images of themselves to send to Singha over the internet.

During that time, Singha also communicated with an intermediary and paid that person to send sexually explicit videos and images of four additional minor victims.

Law enforcement searched and seized Singha's phone and found nearly 5,000 images and 620 videos depicting child pornography. These materials included depictions of prepubescent minors under the age of 12.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
