Child-porn probe finds guns, drugs, bomb-making equipment at Cherry Hill suspect's home
Police searching for alleged child pornography in a Cherry Hill home also found drugs, guns and bomb-making materials, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. "Additionally, detectives located a bomb-disposal robot belonging to the United States Navy" at the home of 50-year-old Robert Cormier, the prosecutor's office said July 17. It disclosed the raid in announcing recent charges against six men related to child sexual abuse material. Cormier, who runs a government-contracting business from his home, was arrested after a barricade incident at a Barrington residence June 13, the prosecutor's office said. Teacher charged: Vineland educator accused of child-porn crimes It alleged that a search of his Cherry Hill home found guns, bomb-making materials and suspected crystal methamphetamine. The bomb-disposal robot was returned to the Navy. Cormier came to investigators' attention during a probe into alleged child sexual abuse material offenses. He was charged with possession, distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material with the intent to distribute. Additionally, he was charged with seven counts of possession of destructive devices, four counts of guns and drug offenses, as well as manufacturing and distributing controlled dangerous substances and maintaining a fortified structure. The prosecutor's office noted charges against 51-year-old Paul Adcock of Franklinville, who is also accused of possession of child sexual abuse material. Adock was charged last month with three counts each of stalking and endangering the welfare of a child. Adcock allegedly followed girls as they returned home from school in Haddon Township on June 10-11, the prosecutor's office said. Also charged last month were 30-year-old Nicholas Dean of Bellmawr; 24-year-old Joel Valdez of Camden and 23-year-old Ronald Aron of Oaklyn. They are accused of possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, as well as possession with the intent to distribute. Michael Howard, 30, of Pine Hill, was charged with possession of child sexual abuse material as well. The charges are only allegations. None of these individuals have been convicted.

Mandy McAuley BBC NI Spotlight PSNI Winston Irvine received a two-and-a-half year sentence Video footage, showing the moment guns and ammunition were found in loyalist community worker Winston Irvine's car, has been released by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Edited extracts from police body-worn video recording the arrests of Irvine and Larne man Robin Workman were released to the BBC, but with the sound almost entirely removed. A PSNI transcript of the original video indicates officers knew they were looking for weapons when they pulled over Irvine in Belfast in 2022. The PSNI said the sound on the video had been removed to prevent the identification of any of the police officers. PSNI Footage from the body-worn camera showed officers discovered a gun inside a bag According to the PSNI transcript of Irvine's arrest in west Belfast, an officer told Irvine they were about to search his vehicle for "munitions and wireless apparatus", an indication he was being stopped under the terms of the Justice and Security Act. "Have you anything in here that shouldn't be?," the officer asked. According to the transcript, Irvine replied: "In the boot there is, yes…there's a bag...I don't know what's in it." The officer said: "OK, where did you get that?" Irvine replied that he did not want to say. Irvine and Workman, who was jailed for five years, both failed to explain why the weapons were being transported. PSNI Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) paraphernalia was found in both their homes, but the judge in the case concluded there was "no evidence of a direct terrorist connection to these firearms". Irvine was given less than the statutory minimum sentence because of his peace and charity work. He is due to be released in 2026 unless the PPS appeal is successful. The PSNI does not normally release body-worn video but agreed to do so after BBC NI's Spotlight team made the request to Belfast Crown Court in late May, during the making of Caught: Guns In The Boot, which investigated Irvine's arrest and the implications it could have for the potential disbandment of the UVF. What is the UVF? The Ulster Volunteer Force murdered more than 500 people during the Troubles. It was formed in 1966 and involved in various atrocities including the bombing of McGurk's Bar in Belfast, the sectarian killings of the Shankill Butchers and the Loughinisland massacre. In recent years, it has been linked to serious criminality, including drug dealing. Who is Winston Irvine? Winston Irvine first came to public prominence as a spokesman for the Progressive Unionist Party, which was linked to the UVF throughout the peace process. Spotlight reported in 2013 that a number of sources alleged Irvine was a UVF commander, but he said that was "preposterous". When Irvine was arrested in June 2022, he had been employed as a community worker by the Belfast organisation Intercomm for 10 years. The group suspended him when he was arrested. After he was jailed in May, Irvine chose to serve his sentence on a segregated loyalist wing of HMP Maghaberry. Prior to his arrest he was described as an "interlocutor" working with the Loyalist Communities Council on transforming the UVF into a peaceful organisation.
