You can find this in The Gospel of Nicodemus.
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin mentioned in three places in the Gospel of John:
He wrote "The Gospel of Nicodemus" and he helped bury Jesus in the tomb.

It also appears in the 1st century Pseudo-Marcellus and in the 4th century Acts of Peter and Paul.
Justin Martyr wrote, "And that these things did happen, you can ascertain from the Acts of Pontius Pilate."
-- First Apology, A.D. 150
The Apology letters were written and addressed by name to the Roman Emperor Pius and the Roman Governor Urbicus. All three of these men lived between AD 138 – 161.
Justin Martyr died in 165 AD and he was aware of the Gospel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_MartyrTertullian who died in 240 AD mentions the Acts of Pontius Pilate in his book Apology in A.D. 200
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TertullianEpiphanius who died in 403 AD mentions the Acts of Pontius Pilate in his book Heresies in Chapter 50.1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphanius_of_SalamisIt should be noted that some believe a fraudulent version of the Acts of Pilate was circulated later in the fourth and fifth centuries.
This should not be confused with the original document that was generated in the first century, archived in Rome
and was available to Caesar Antoninus Pius and the Roman Senate. Otherwise, Justin Martyr’s appeal to the Acts of Pilate in his First Apology would have lacked credibility.
Both Justin Martyr (A.D. 150) and Tertullian (A.D. 200) refer to the document much earlier than the fraudulent version.
It was required reading in Roman schools under the emperor Maximinus.
Urbicus was the governor between 139 and 142 AD. So we know it must have been written before that.
