On Thursday, July 10, 2025, members of the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested a Bayonne man following a child sexual abuse material investigation.
Jonathan Chevere, 24, is charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material) in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4b(5)(b)(iii), a crime of the third degree. He was arrested at his residence and transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility pending his first court appearance.
Between July 2024 and November 2024, the Hudson County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received multiple tips that child sexual abuse material was being stored on social media platforms. During the course of the investigation, it was determined Chevere utilized these accounts and over 250 files containing child sexual abuse material were recovered.
