(LANHAM, MD) \u2013 Troopers arrested and charged a Prince George\u2019s County man early Friday morning after a Maryland State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigation developed evidence supporting charges of distribution and possession of child pornography.<\/p>\n

The suspect is identified as Neri Celio Fernandez, 30, of Lanham, Maryland. Fernandez is charged with three counts of distribution of child pornography and six counts of possession of child pornography. He was transported to the Maryland State Police College Park Barrack for processing.<\/p>\n

Over the course of several months, the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit conducted an investigation into the distribution and possession of child pornography online. The investigation led to the identification of the suspect and his residence in Prince George\u2019s County.<\/p>\n

At approximately 4:30 a.m., Maryland State Police, assisted by the Prince George\u2019s County Police Department and Homeland Security and Investigations, served a search warrant at the identified residence. A preliminary forensic review of the suspect\u2019s electronic devices revealed multiple child pornography files.<\/p>\n

The Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit coordinates the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. This is a combined law enforcement effort involving police departments across Maryland that is made possible in part due to grant funds provided by the Governor\u2019s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth and Victim Services and by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. Task force investigators focus on identifying those involved in child pornography via the Internet and other related crimes that victimize children.<\/p>\n
