  FREEHOLD – A township man is facing charges after he was found to have downloaded pornographic images of children through a social media platform.

  Fuquan Davis, 36, of Freehold Township was charged with third degree Possession of Child Sexual Exploitation Materials, police said. He is accused of using a social media platform to access images and videos of child sexual abuse.

  An online service company learned about the images and videos. They alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). They told the New Jersey ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Regional Task Force, who then contacted police.

  What followed was a three-month investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office

Computer Crimes Unit and its Monmouth County ICAC Task Force, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said.

  If convicted, Davis faces a sentence of three to five years in prison, parole for life, and may be required to register as a sex offender.

  Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.
