An active-duty New Jersey man serving in the Air Force pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography, according the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Christian Keilberg, 34, was enlisted as an active-duty Airman while living and working on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst when investigators said that he interacted with minors through social media and online chat platforms between Nov. 2020 and 2022.
Keilberg was accused of sending underaged children between 12 and 16 sexually explicit messages where he would ask them to send him sexual photos and videos.
When investigators searched Keilberg’s electronic devices, they found videos and images depicting child pornography.
Keilberg pleaded guilty to the charges on Tuesday, Feb. 10 and is scheduled to be sentenced on June 19, 2026.
He could face between 5 and 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
