MILLBURN, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A New Jersey man pleaded guilty to producing videos of children being sexually assaulted, the Department of Justice announced on Wednesday.

Antonio Del Prado, a 61-year-old man from Millburn, admitted to filming himself sexually abusing children in the Philippines and then transmitting the footage to himself in the U.S.

Law enforcement learned Del Prado had uploaded suspected child pornography to a cloud storage system in October 2020.

The next month, police raided his house and found electronic devices containing child pornography.

He faces up to 60 years in prison, with a mandatory minimum of 30 years.
