An 84-year-old South Jersey man was arrested Wednesday on charges of child pornography, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Issat Farat (aka Joseph) Yusif, of Little Egg Harbor, was charged with third-degree possession of child pornography following an investigation by local authorities.
The prosecutor's office said a search of Yusif's home on Kansas Road in Little Egg Harbor Township on Wednesday resulted in the seizure of a computer containing several hundred images of adults engaged in sexual acts with pre-pubescent children. Several additional items were discovered in the home and are pending further examination, authorities said.
Bail was set at $50,000 with no 10 percent option. Yusif was transported to the Ocean County Jail in lieu of posting bail.
Yusif is vice chairman of the board of adjustment for Little Egg Harbor Township.
