This man was known to complainant and the photographs of the 11-year-old were taken inside a residence. He was not being identified to protect the identity of the victim.

After further investigation, police executed a search warrant at a Castlegrove Boulevard home on July 25, and as a result a man was arrested at the same location on Thursday.

The 42-year-old has been charged with make available child pornography and possess child pornography.
