Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw and Evesham Township Police Chief Walt Miller announced that a 48-year-old Marlton man has been charged with possession and distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
Dominic Constantine was taken into custody at his residence July 3 and charged with Possession of CSAM on a File Sharing Program (First Degree), Possession of CSAM with Intent to Distribute (First Degree), Distribution of CSAM (First Degree), and Possession of CSAM (Second Degree).
He was lodged in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly pending a detention hearing in Superior Court. The case will be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.
The investigation began after the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit received a tip from United States Homeland Security Investigations concerning Constantine’s online activities.

The devices were seized during the execution of a search warrant at his residence.
The investigation further revealed that Constantine was sharing CSAM through a network that allowed a large amount of files to be distributed online.
The investigation was conducted by the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Evesham Township Police Department and United States Homeland Security Investigations – Cherry Hill Office. The lead investigator is Evesham Detective Christopher DeFrancesco, who is assigned to the BCPO High-Tech Crimes Unit as a Task Force Officer.
Constantine will be prosecuted by the BCPO Special Victims Unit.
