Cherry Hill Man Arrested for Circulating Child Sexual Abuse Material
By Matt Skoufalos | April 5, 2024
- Tyler Kademian was arrested after authorities discovered he was allegedly storing and sharing illicit files on a mobile messaging application.
- A Cherry Hill man, Tyler Kademian, has been arrested for using a mobile messaging app to circulate child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- Kademian faces second-degree and third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child charges, as related to the distribution and possession of CSAM, respectively.
- Investigators from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office (CCPO) were first alerted to the issue after receiving a tip that CSAM was being circulated from a Kik messenger account.
- Kik provided IP addresses “which resolved to the accused residents and place of employment,” according to Kademian’s charging documents, which were signed by CCPO Detective John H. Cochran.
- “Detectives located CSAM materials inside of the account, as well as videos of the accused,” Cochran wrote in an affidavit of probable cause at Kademian’s March 21 arrest.
- Kademian, who worked as a Cherry Hill firefighter since 2018, is no longer with the department, Cherry Hill Fire Chief Wade Houlihan said.
- The term “child sexual abuse materials” is used by law enforcement because it reinforces that “underlying every sexually explicit image or video of a child is abuse, rape, molestation, and/or exploitation,” according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
- A second-degree child endangerment conviction is a felony punishable by five to 10 years in prison and a fine of as much as $150,000. A third-degree child endangerment conviction is punishable by three to five years in prison and a fine of as much as $15,000.
- Either conviction could also compel the accused to register as a Megan’s Law sex offender.
- All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. An arrest is not a conviction.
