Police said the investigation began later last year after their internet child exploitation unit (ICE) was tipped off to the images.

The suspect, 69-year-old Kenneth Scott Coffey, was initially arrested at a Pritchard Avenue home in February for accessing and possessing child porn. At the time, police seized a pair of cell phones.

On Thursday, Coffey was again arrested at home and charged with making, printing, publishing or possessing child pornography. He also faces four counts of luring a person under 18, three counts of transmitting sexually explicit material to a person under 18, and a handful of other related charges.
