On Thursday, June 9, 2022, members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Cyber Crimes Unit executed a search warrant at the residence of GREGORY M.

As a result of the investigation, GREGORY M. KAPRELIAN was arrested on Thursday, June 9, 2022, in Paramus, NJ and charged with second-degree distribution of child pornography, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4(b)5(a)i; and third-degree possession of child pornography, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4(b)5(b)iii. KAPRELIAN was remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.

Prosecutor Musella states that the charges are merely accusations and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He would also like to thank the Saddle Brook Police Department for their assistance, as well as the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office and Lyndhurst Police Department, which participate in the Bergen County Cyber Crimes Task Force.
