DUNNING — A Dunning man kept more than 45,000 images and 200 videos of child pornography, some involving a 7-year-old girl, U.S. Attorneys announced Monday.

Scott Reskey, 61, was arrested last Thursday at his home in the 7700 block of West Belmont Avenue after a months-long FBI investigation into an online child-porn network, according to the announcement.

After searching Reskey's home, investigators found a laptop computer with photos of a juvenile girl in various stages of undress, including "at least one image with a background that includes distinctive furnishings from [his] living room," according to federal court records.

Magistrate Judge Young B. Kim ordered Reskey into federal custody Monday, according to federal prosecutors. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
