A Brick man admitted he possessed more than 600 images of child pornography on his home computer and e-mailed them to himself for storage purposes.

Christopher Seufert, 31, pleaded guilty Monday to a single count of possession of child pornography before U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper in Trenton federal court.

Seufert admitted he possessed more than 600 images of child pornography on a computer located in his residence in March 2010, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman. He also admitted using his America Online email account to send some of the images to himself and store them.

Seufert acknowledged to authorities that among the images he possessed were photographs which depicted minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct with other minors and adults, including material portraying sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of violence. The criminal images were brought to the attention of law enforcement by a tip from America Online.

Sentencing in the case has been set for Aug. 16. Seufert faces up to 10 years in prison, followed by a mandatory minimum of five years supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

As part of his guilty plea, Seufert agreed to forfeit the computers and computer accessories he used to commit the offense.

Fishman credited special agents of the FBI’s Cyber Crimes Squad assigned to Innocent Images, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, and the N.J. State Police and with the investigation leading to Monday’s guilty plea.

A photograph of Seufert was not immediately available.
