A 66-year-old Eudora man who turned himself into police in May now faces three felony charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

Between August and November 2015 a detective with the Wichita Police Department investigating online sharing of child pornography identified the man’s Internet Protocol address, or IP address, in connection with hundreds of the illegal images, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court.

An arrest affidavit is a document filed by police explaining why a suspect was arrested. Allegations in affidavits must still be proved in court.

In late November the man’s computer had downloaded at least 379 images of child pornography and was the download source for hundreds more, the affidavit states.

On Nov. 20 police searched the man’s home and found a Dell laptop running and actively downloading files using file-sharing software, the affidavit states. In all, a laptop, two flash drives, 38 CDs and 34 DVDs were seized from the home. Twenty-nine of the seized DVDs reportedly contained images or videos of child pornography.

The man turned himself into the Douglas County Jail on May 21 and was released later that day after posting a $10,000 bond.

He is scheduled to appear in court July 5 at 3 p.m. for a preliminary hearing, at which the court will decide whether there is enough evidence to order him to stand trial.

Depending on his criminal history, the man could face a total of 34 years in prison if he is convicted of all three felony charges.
