TRENTON, N.J. – Jesus Modesto Sanchez, 31, of New York, has admitted to transporting multiple items depicting CASM images into New Jersey in a videoconference trial before U.S. District Judge Zahid N. Quraishi.
According to the Department of Justice, in October 2020, Modesto Sanchez began communicating on a web-based application with an undercover officer, who he believed was a minor.

Law enforcement subsequently discovered a significant collection of child [censored]ography on Modesto Sanchez’s cellular telephone, including approximately 72 videos and one image depicting the sexual abuse of minors,” U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger said in statement.
