Jackson Man Charged with Internet Child Porn

In the same week that an admitted child-porn trafficker from Tuckerton was given 18 years behind bars, a Jackson man is arrested for nearly identical charges.

Vincent Calandra, 40, faces a second-degree count of distribution and a third-degree charge of possession following a search of his Woodstock Court dwelling this morning, according to information from the office of Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato.

The search stemmed from a referral by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of suspected Internet child pornography activity in Ocean County, authorities said.

An investigation by the county High Tech Crime Unit, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Jackson Police identified Calandra's home as the alleged source point.

Calandra's bail was set at $100,000, with no 10-percent option for release, by Judge Daniel Sahin in Jackson Municipal Court.
