The day prior, Fredderico Soda was taken into custody at his residence in Tabernacle, and all electronics were seized to be examined by the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office High-Tech Crimes Unit. This was due to an investigation that began earlier in the year, when Fredderico Soda’s online activities alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Prosecutor’s Office announced.
The investigation further revealed that Fredderico Soda knew the girl he was chatting with was a minor, yet he continued to pursue exchanging explicit material and nude photographs.
