A high school teacher from Woodbridge has been charged following a child sexual abuse material investigation conducted by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, authorities announced Friday.

Prosecutors said the investigation began after the New Jersey State Police received a cyber tip.

Authorities said Joseph Severini, 32, of the Fords section of Woodbridge, was arrested Friday at his home following the execution of a search warrant. Prosecutors identified Severini as a high school teacher but did not disclose the school or district where he worked.

Severini was charged with distribution of child sexual abuse material and possession of child sexual abuse material.

Authorities said the investigation remains active. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
