Burlington County law enforcement officials reported that a Westampton Township man has been charged with possessing and distributing Explicit Images of Minors.
Officials said that Mr. Myles T. Doyle, 35, of Fieldcrest Drive, was charged with three counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Minor (two Second Degree and one Third Degree).
Police arrested Doyle Tuesday at the Westampton Township Police Department. He was then lodged in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly.
Burlington County authorities said that Doyle was ordered detained during a hearing in Superior Court. The case will now be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.
According to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, the investigation began in November after the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit received information regarding Doyle's online activities from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The investigation revealed that Doyle was using social media to distribute abused images of minors.
Officials said Doyle is presently under parole supervision for life due to an unrelated conviction from the Prosecutors Office's Operation Safe Quarantine initiative last year.
In that case, he received a suspended three-year sentence after pleading guilty.
The Prosecutor's Office will apply to the court to have the suspended sentence rescinded and a three-year period of incarceration imposed due to the new charges.
Multiple electronic devices were seized from Doyle's residence during the execution of a search warrant and will be examined by detectives from the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit.
Doyle was additionally charged with Contempt (Fourth Degree) after failing to comply with a court order to provide the passcodes.
All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
