Edson sending out those images via the KIK social messaging application caught the attention of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force from a referral of inappropriate content being sent out over the social media site and chat application.
Following Edson’s arrest by Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Detectives on Monday, he was brought to the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
