CAMDEN, N.J. - A Cumberland County, New Jersey, man today admitted possessing images of child sexual abuse, U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger announced.
Raymond Stickelman, 38, of Vineland, New Jersey, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Karen M. Williams in Camden federal court to an information with one count of possession of child pornography. He was released on $100,000 unsecured bond.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
In November 2021, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at Stickelman's residence.

The count of possession of child pornography carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 7, 2025.
U.S. Attorney Sellinger credited special agents of the FBI, Atlantic City Resident Agency, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James E. Dennehy in Newark, with the investigation leading to the guilty plea.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lindsey Harteis and Elisa Wiygul of the Camden office.
