Margate Man Among 25 Arrested in Child Porn Sting

A Margate man is accused of possession and distribution of child pornography, Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa announced Wednesday.

Nil Choudhury, 23, was among 25 people arrested as part of an operation aimed at child pornography, including child rape videos. 

Dozens of law enforcement agencies and more than 50 officers took part in the effort, dubbed Operation Ever Vigilant.

The Digital Technology Investigations Unit of the New Jersey State Police began the investigation approximately three months ago by searching for New Jersey residents who were making child pornography available to others. 

These files show pre-pubescent boys and girls being sexually molested by being penetrated, or by being coerced into performing sexual acts on themselves or others, the release stated.

“Anyone who views and distributes child pornography – particularly the type of child rape videos targeted in this operation – puts himself in league with the predators who sexually assault children to create these videos,” Chiesa said.
