A former aide to ex-New Jersey governor and presidential candidate Chris Christie has been arrested and allegedly paid to “perform a sexual act” with a six-year-old girl.
Kevin Tomafsky, 41, was charged in July and arrested on August 15 after being charged with the alleged victim’s father.

Christie’s former assistant is currently being held at the Salem County Correctional Facility in Mannington, police said New Jersey sphere.
A Gloucester County prosecutor has been investigating Tomafsky after Snapchat alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to a child pornography incident.
Tomafsky allegedly received a photo of a child being forced into oral sex by an adult, court documents said after prosecutors were able to obtain Snapchat data via a warrant.
A State Superior Court judge authorized a search warrant for the home in Sewell Township where Tomafsky lives with his mother, executed on December 14.
The investigation revealed just under 1,000 items described as child sex abuse material.
The other man charged in the case, believed to be the victim’s father, was charged with six disturbing offenses, including “knowingly committing sexual penetration of the six-year-old and photographing a child engaged in a sexual action.’
Tomafsky worked in the planning office during the end of Christie’s first term as governor of New Jersey.
“I stand behind Team Christie 100 percent and I want to make sure I do everything I can to serve him in the best way possible,” Tomafsky said in an email, according to the Globe.

Tomafsky would provide surrogacy appearances for Christie at various events.
On Christie’s recommendation, he was hired by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which manages transportation between neighboring states, as a representative of government and community relations.
He then worked on several Republican campaigns for the state legislature, in addition to supporting LoBiondi’s congressional activities.
According to his Facebook page, he had been working in the state of New Jersey since 2016, when Christie was in his second term. The page said he left that job in 2019, but he was still listed on the state’s employee directory on Friday.
