A Monroe man plead guilty after police investigated him for possessing child pornography and recording young boys around town without their knowledge, according to police.
Police began an investigation into Kenneth Raftery in October 2015 after being contacted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service concerning a child exploitation case with connections to Monroe.
Federal investigators traced transfers of child pornography to Raftery, police said.
Authorities executed a search and seizure warrant at Raftery's home at 8 Stonecraft Way and found evidence on a computer, iPhone and an iPad in 2015.
While looking for evidence of child pornography, investigators found videos of young teens on the iPad and iPhone recorded around Monroe, police said.
The videos included one recorded at a Masuk High School Football car wash on Route 25 and others from an area near Wolfe Park pool, according to police.
The videos are of young males and men in shorts and seem to attempt to record up the victims' shorts, police said.

Federal authorities said they also found child porn on Raftery's electronic devices.
On Monday, Raftery plead guilty to third-degree possession of child porn and voyeurism. He is expected to be sentenced on Sept. 8
