NEWARK, N.J. – A Passaic County, New Jersey, man was sentenced to 194 months in prison for transporting and possessing videos and images of child sexual abuse, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced today.
Edward M. O’Hagan, 51, of Hawthorne, New Jersey previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo to an information charging him with one count of transportation of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Judge Arleo imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
During the course of the investigation, law enforcement obtained records and legal process pertaining to two email accounts that were identified as belonging to O’Hagan. Based on these email accounts, law enforcement determined that, on or about January 19, 2023, O’Hagan transmitted video files containing child pornography through the internet. The investigation further revealed that O’Hagan’s email addresses utilized an encrypted file storage platform to upload and/or create files containing child pornography, which was accessed from an IP address that was traced to O’Hagan’s address.
Every criminal must be punished and every innocent must get justice.
