PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — A Floyd County man has been indicted on child porn charges, following an investigation by Prestonsburg Police.
Police received a complaint from a person who got into a dispute with Simon Roxas, 22, of Prestonsburg, after finding child porn on his phone. His phone was seized and underwent a forensic analysis by Ashland Police, who found nearly 200 child porn images on his phone.
The case was presented to a grand jury, which indicted Roxas on one count of possessing child porn and one count of distributing it. Each of the charges is punishable by 5-to-10 years in prison.
Roxas has been released to home incarceration after posting a $5,000 cash bond. As part of the terms of his release, he is forbidden from being on the internet and he is not allowed to possess any electronic devices.
He is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment April 11.
The case remains under investigation by Det. Dennis Hutchison.
