A Philadelphia cook has been accused in New Jersey of uploading and distributing child pornography, NBC10 reports.
Authorities say Taylor Hecht, 28, of Philadelphia, was found uploading and distributing pornographic images from a computer at his father's home in Howell, Monmouth County.
A spokesman for the Monmouth County prosecutor’s office told Patch that Hecht is charged with one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child for distribution of child pornography and one count of third-degree endangering the welfare of a child for possession of child pornography.
Hecht, who was a line cook at Brigantessa restaurant on East Passyunk Avenue, is being held on $125,000 bail.
Another Philadelphia restaurateur was arrested and charged in a federal child pornography investigation last month after allegedly exchanging photos of a nude prepubescent girl with an undercover officer who established contact with him via an online bulletin.
