A man in Köping has been charged with serious child pornography offences. The police tracked him down after an organization in the US sounded the alarm that a person with an IP address in the municipality was spreading child pornographic material, reports Bärgslagsbladet/Arboga Tidning.

In two of the man’s computers, nearly 7,600 images of abuse and roughly 800 child pornography films were found.

The man, who is in his 50s, admits to possessing child pornography, but denies that he distributed the material.
