Maple Shade man arrested in child porn bust

A 25-year-old Maple Shade man was arrested Thursday and charged with possession and distribution of child pornography, said Burlington County Prosecutor Scott A. Coffina.

Ryan J. Stemetzki, of the 100 block of East Front Street, was taken into custody after law-enforcement agents executed a search warrant at this residence. Investigators seized a computer and two cellphones.

The prosecutor's office had received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about Stemetzki's online activities. Investigators found that Stemetzki shared online a sexual image of a prepubescent female, Coffina said.

Stemetzki was being held at the Burlington County jail pending  an appearance in Superior Court.
