A 36-year-old man caught with child porn while living in Pohatcong Township was convicted of two child porn charges, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Craig Carpenito announced Wednesday.

Derrick Baer had dialed 911 on May 31, 2010, to report his girlfriend was unresponsive. Emergency personnel responded, performed CPR and later pronounced the girlfriend dead.

Investigators deemed the death suspicious and obtained Baer's consent to seize computer equipment, according to a news release from the federal prosecutor, citing documents filed in the case and evidence presented at trial.

That equipment contained at least 348 images and 33 video files of child sexual abuse, the release says. Investigators found some of the material in a folder labeled "Derrick's bad pictures," court records show.

Baer was convicted Tuesday of one count of receiving child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography following a six-day jury trial before U.S. District Judge Claire C. Cecchi in Newark federal court.

The receipt of child pornography count is punishable by a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison, with a minimum penalty of five years in prison, and a fine of $250,000. The possession count is punishable by a maximum potential sentence of 10 years in prison.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 23. Baer was living in Bath at the time of his arrest in the case in February 2015. His address is now listed in court records as the Essex County prison in Newark.

Carpenito credited special agents of the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Gregory W. Ehrie in Newark; the Pohatcong Township Police Department, under the direction of Chief Scott Robb; the N.J. Regional Computer Forensics Lab; and the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Prosecutor Richard Burke, with the investigation leading to the conviction.

Baer was not charged in the death of his girlfriend, who was not identified in Wednesday's release. Nor do court records reveal the name of the woman, who lived with Baer in the Pohatcong Township home.

A message left with Baer’s attorney seeking comment Wednesday was not immediately returned.
