Air Force Member Gets Children To Send Porn In NJ, DOJ Says

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — A 35-year-old former United States Air Force Airman was sentenced on Wednesday for sending and receiving porn with children, the United States Department of Justice said.

Christian Keilberg, 35, of Ocean County, received 121 months in jail after he pleaded guilty in February to receipt of child pornography.

Between November 2020 and November 2022, Keilberg used online chat applications and social media while he was living on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as an active-duty Airman.

In these messages, he talked with minors in and outside of New Jersey to get sexually explicit images and videos, according to officials.

A search of Keilberg's devices found on-base showed more files of child pornography. He received more than 600 photos of children, some between the ages of 12 and 15.

After his prison term, Keilberg will also be under ten years of supervised release.
