Authorities say the investigation began in January. The first suspect was arrested March 1. Authorities say the 23-year-old man lived next to a child daycare center.
Another suspect allegedly took pornographic photos while sexually assaulting a child, officials said. Yet another was downloading pornographic images when detectives got a search warrant.
Detectives say they traced digital fingerprints from the images as they passed through cyberspace.
The arrests took place in 20 New Jersey towns. It wasn't known if any of the suspects had lawyers.
