A NJ endangering the welfare of a child offense stemming from possession of child pornography is a first degree crime where it involves 1,000 or more images. The sentence for first degree possession of child pornography is 10-20 years in prison. If possession involves at least 25 but less than 1,000 items of child pornography, it is a second degree crime. Second degree child pornography triggers 5-10 years in prison. In either of these scenarios, there is also a period of parole ineligibility that must be set at one-third and one-half of the sentence imposed, with a minimum of 5 years for second degree possession and 10 years for first degree distribution.
