A 21-year-old former employee of the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield was charged today in federal court on several child pornography charges, after he allegedly abused multiple children at a day camp.
Matthew David Kuppe, of West Bloomfield was charged with production, distribution, receipt and possession of child pornography and is in federal custody until a detention hearing on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Kuppe was arrested after the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations uncovered dozens of nude photographs of young boys, presumably at the camp. West Bloomfield Police assisted, according to Deputy Chief Curt Lawson.
Lawson declined to say how many victims there are but said some have already been identified. Lawson said the Jewish Community Center has been “fully cooperative in this investigation.” According to the center’s website, children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 15 attend the camps.
