A 38-year-old man accused of a slew of sex crimes was arrested earlier this month in Kent, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials say the investigation began after they received information about an individual possessing and distributing child sex abuse material through electronic devices.
Investigators executed a search warrant at the home of Cory Matthews, where they found an illegal firearm and a high-capacity magazine.
