According to U.S. Senior Counsel Philip Lamparello, on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, Edwin Isaacson, IV, 53, of Matamoras, Pennsylvania, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and pleaded guilty before Chief U.S. District Court Judge Renee Marie Bumb to a federal information charging him with one count of Possession of Child Pornography.
