He was arrested on Oct. 7 by members of ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit.

Police said sexually explicit photos of the victim were found on computers and electronics seized from Haberman’s home.

Haberman is charged with child luring, making sexually explicit material available to a minor, possessing child pornography, accessing child pornography and making child pornography.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 16.
