MASON, Ohio
An Ohio man has been indicted on charges accusing him of photographing himself as he sexually molested boys, and officials say the images were taken at an in-home daycare.
Authorities told The Cincinnati Enquirer the photos were taken at a daycare operated in southwest Ohio by the mother of 27-year-old Andrew Keith.
The 117-count indictment filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court accuses Keith, of Mason, of making sexually explicit photos of boys in 2002 and 2003 and of sharing them in 2008, 2009 and 2010. U.S. attorney spokesman Fred Alverson told The Enquirer the images were traded over the Internet with someone in South Carolina.
Keith is being held pending a Tuesday arraignment and detention hearing. A message seeking comment was left after business hours at the federal public defender’s office.
