A corrections officer in New Jersey has been arrested for possessing child pornography after investigators were alerted to a series of online posts referencing ‘cheese pizza’ – a coded phrase used by pedophiles.
Federal prosecutors arrested 37-year-old Stephen Salamak at his home in Lodi, New Jersey.
Seattletimes.com reports: Prosecutors say an undercover officer first made contact with Salamak after he posted on Craigslist that he was looking for women and moms “that are into Cheese Pizza,” a reference to child pornography.
After police executed a search warrant on his email, prosecutors say they found an email with five attachments showing nude images of young girls.
Prosecutors say he admitted his crime after a search of his home.
It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney to comment on his behalf.
