A rookie Mount Laurel police officer was arrested last week on accusations he hacked into the social media accounts of a woman and posted naked pictures she’d taken of herself, authorities announced on Oct 27.
Ayron Taylor, 22, of Delran, is charged with three counts of computer crime, invasion of privacy and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office announced. Taylor was arrested Friday, Oct 21.
He faces endangering the welfare of a child charges because some of the photos he posted of the victim were taken when she was a minor, the office said.
Taylor was suspended without pay and the department was seeking to terminate his employment.
