A Prairie Grove Man faces multiple charges of child porn possession and could face more after Washington County Deputies searched his home.
64-year-old Francis Joseph McCourt faces 10 counts of possession of child pornography with more counts expected, according to an arrest report.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant at McCourt's home on Brown Road in Prairie Grove Tuesday as part of a child pornography investigation.
Inside, they found images of child pornography and seized several computers, hard drives, other data storage as well as actual photographs.
According to his arrest report, McCourt arrived at his home as the search was taking place and admitted to detectives that he had downloaded photographs of naked children from a website.
The investigation continues as detectives determine the exact number of charges McCourt will face but more are expected.
Detectives also discovered a previous Felony conviction for stolen property on McCourt's record. As a result of McCourt being a convicted felon, police also seized 49 guns that were found in the house.
