TRENTON, NJ.- Last Tuesday, April 8, 2025, a 76-year-old Trenton, New Jersey, man who was previously convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl in September of 2001 was taken into custody and jailed after being charged with allegedly possessing digital images and video files depicting the sexual exploitation and abuse of children.
According to Mercer County Prosecutor Janetta D. Marbrey, on Tuesday, Upton Fink, 76, of Trenton, was formally charged with one count of third-degree Possession of Child Pornography. Fink was processed on the charge and was remanded to the Mercer County Corrections Center. The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office has filed a motion to detain Fink pending trial.
The arrest and charge stem from an investigation that began when Detectives of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit received a CyberTip from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding an individual in the Mercer County, New Jersey, area was utilizing the internet to view, upload, and possess digital images of video files depicting child pornography.
During the ensuing investigation, Detectives identified an IP address associated with a Trenton, New Jersey residence. Detectives were subsequently able to link Fink as being associated with the IP address.
