A one-time aide to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was arrested this month for allegedly paying for photos of a 6-year-old girl who was sexually abused.
Kevin Tomafsky, 41, was arrested Aug. 15 after a grand jury indicted him in July on multiple counts of child sexual abuse, according to court reports obtained by the New Jersey Globe.
Tomafsky has been under investigation since October 2022, when Snapchat reported an upload of alleged child sex abuse to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which was then forwarded to the Gloucester County District Attorney’s office.
Tomafsky allegedly received photos on the app of a young girl having oral sex with an adult after the Gloucester prosecutor’s office reviewed records provided by Snapchat, the outlet reported.
When authorities executed a search warrant in December at the home Tomafsky shared with his mother, they allegedly found less than 1,000 items of child sexual abuse material.
Tomafsky is reportedly charged with engaging in sexual conduct with a child, conspiracy to endanger the welfare of a child, permitting a child to engage in pornography and possession of child pornography.

The second individual was charged with six felony counts, including knowingly sexually assaulting a 6-year-old child and photographing a child performing sexual acts.
Citing three sources, the second suspect was identified by the Globe as the victim’s father.
Tomafsky is currently being held at the Salem County Correctional Facility in Mannington.
According to the outlet, the alleged child predator was employed by the Christie administration from 2010 to 2012. He worked in the scheduling office, managing surrogates who represented the governor at events.

He was then hired for 11 months as a government and community relations representative at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — on the recommendation of Christie’s office.
Tomafsky’s recent string of jobs includes legislative director for Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi (R-Vineland) and president of the Washington Township Republican Club, while also working on Republican political campaigns.
He was working in an undisclosed government position until Friday, when he resigned.
