EVESHAM, NJ – A young police officer working at the Evesham Police Department has been arrested and placed on unpaid suspension after breaking into a woman’s cell phone and sharing illicit photos of her on social media.
Ayron Taylor, 22, joined the force last October and his career might now be over. Worse, he’s now facing possible jail time if convicted.
Evesham Township Police Chief Walt Miller said Taylor has been charged with hacking into the social media accounts of an Evesham woman and distributing nude pictures she took of herself to those on her contact and friends lists.
He was charged with three counts of computer crime, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one county of invasion of privacy.
“The investigation began last month after the victim contacted the Evesham Township Police Department and reported that her Snapchat and Facebook accounts had been accessed by an unknown person who then sent nude photos she had taken of herself to her Snapchat contacts, messaged them to her Facebook friends, and posted them on her Facebook wall,” Chief Miller said.
Some of the photos of the woman were taken while she was still a minor, landing him even more serious charges.
Miller said the department is now moving to terminate Taylor’s employment.
