A Rumson man was arrested Friday on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography, the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday.

Matthew Marass, 23, of Forrest Avenue, was charged with two counts of child pornography — one count for possession, and another for distribution, First Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni said.

Following an investigation by a county task force, Gramiccioni said authorities seized Marass’s computer, which contained “a number of files” of images, “many of which the state alleges are images of child pornography.”

Marass was transported to the Monmouth County Correctional Facility where he is being held on a $50,000 bond with no 10-percent option.

“He’s in jail,” Gramiccioni said. “As far as I know he hasn’t made bail.”

A court date is pending.
