An Edison man has admitted to distributing and possessing images of child sexual abuse.
John Fricovsky, 57, pleaded guilty in Newark federal court on Feb. 28 to an information charging him with one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
Fricovsky admitted that in February of 2015 he sent an email attaching an image of child sexual abuse involving a child under age 12. He also admitted in December of 2015 to possessing computer devices containing at least 10, but fewer than 150, images of child sexual abuse, according to a statement provided by U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman.
Fricovsky faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the possession charge when he is sentenced June 7. He also will be required to register as a sex offender.
