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.
