A 55-year-old Valparaiso man was found in possession of hundreds of images and/or videos of pornography involving children from infant age on up, a newly-filed charging document says.
Charles Woods was taken into custody Tuesday and is charged with one count of child exploitation and two count of possessing child pornography, records show.
An Indiana State Police trooper said she began investigating the case after being tipped off Feb. 20, 2020, by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children of a user of the Kik messenger service with files containing child pornography.
The user in question was identified as Woods and a search warrant served to Kik was returned with hundreds of images and videos of child sexual abuse material, police say. The material was allegedly being shared within a messaging group by Woods.
When police were able to connect with Woods in January 2022, he denied recognizing a username associated with the Kik account and said others visiting his house would have had access to the internet.
