LONDON, Ky. — A Prestonsburg man who was arrested on a child porn charge after police raided his apartment last month has now been indicted by a federal grand jury.

Jimmy Ray Brown, 31, was arrested on a single count of possessing child porn after the FBI, Kentucky State Police and Prestonsburg Police executed a search warrant at his home Sept. 9.

Brown’s arrest came following a long and winding investigation by the FBI’s Huntington office. Agents began investigating in order to identify a person downloading and sharing child porn videos using the BitTorrent file sharing service. Investigators say the computer’s internet connection was associated with approximately 1,833 instances of suspected child pornography being possessed or exchanged over a little more than three months.

The search first took investigators to Logan County, W.Va., where Brown’s internet service provider is based, before they were able to determine that the account accessing the files was based in an apartment at Cliffside Apartments in Prestonsburg.

On Thursday, a federal grand jury in London indicted Brown on a charge of possessing child porn. If convicted, he will face up to 20 years in prison.

Brown is being held without bond in the Laurel County jail.
