69-year-old N.J. woman charged with distributing child sexual abuse materials, authorities say
A Somerset County woman is being charged with distributing child sexual abuse material, authorities say.
Kathleen Amberg, 69, of Branchburg, was arrested at her residence on Aug. 13 and taken to the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.
Electronic devices were seized from her residence for further forensic analysis, authorities said.
The prosecutor's office led an investigation to find a suspect possessing and distributing files depicting sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor after they received a tip, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.
The tip was provided by the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in a Cyber Tipline Report.
Amberg was held at the Somerset County Jail until making an appearance in superior court, after which she was released from custody.
