George Oakes, 4th, of Colby Court in Belvidere, was charged Wednesday with manufacturing child pornography, two counts of distribution, three counts of possession of more than 1,000 images and two counts of possession of less than 1,000 images, Warren County Prosecutor James L. Pfeiffer said Friday in a joint release.

Oakes’ arrest is the result of a five-month investigation by the Warren County Prosecutor's Office Cyber Crimes Unit, who received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Pfeiffer said.

Oakes used several social media platforms to access, distribute and reproduce images and videos depicting child sex abuse, authorities said.

Oakes was being held in the Warren County Correctional Center pending an appearance in court.

The investigation is ongoing, authorities said.
