Chestnut Hill Cove resident Kenneth Schneider is facing multiple charges after being arrested over the weekend by members of the Maryland State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force probing reported child porn incidents in the region.
In June special agents from the Homeland Security Investigations initiated a probe into child pornography after receiving a report that a minor had attempted suicide after allegedly being sexually extorted.
On Friday, Aug. 9, members of the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit, Homeland Security Investigations and Anne Arundel County Police served a search warrant at Schneider's warrant, where he was arrested.
Schneider was charged with soliciting, promote/distributing of child pornography, both felonies, and a misdemeanor displaying obscene material to a minor.
He's being held at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center.
