A New Jersey resident has been charged with possession of child sexual abuse material following an investigation led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Matthew Ozol, 39, from Jersey City, was charged on August 6 in the U.S. District Court in Newark.
Authorities executed a search warrant at Ozol’s home, where they found at least 26 images and videos depicting child sexual abuse. The case is the result of a collaborative international investigation involving HSI and Europol.
“Another child predator has been brought to justice thanks to the coordinated efforts of Homeland Security Investigations and our international law enforcement partners at Europol,” said HSI Newark Special Agent in Charge Michael S. McCarthy. “Ozol was identified as a serious threat to vulnerable children, and HSI remains committed to combating child exploitation worldwide through the dedication of our special agents and analysts.”
