A Manitowoc man has been arrested after he was found to be in possession of child pornography.
The investigation into the 47-year-old man began on December 11th, when a Manitowoc Police Department Detective received a tip from the Department of Criminal Investigation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The report indicated a photo depicting a nude prepubescent male had been uploaded by an account, which led back to the Manitowoc man.
Investigators searched the suspect’s home, where they found numerous electronic devices to search.
A laptop belonging to the man was found to have “a significant amount of image and video files” of child pornography.
A video that appeared to be created by the suspect was also found, as the suspect was seen in the video which was shot in the living area of his home.
The man was arrested on ten counts of Possession of Child Pornography.
