Marysville man faces child pornography and rape charges
MARYSVILLE — A federal investigation into child pornography led police to arrest a Marysville man Tuesday they allege had thousands of images of children having sex.
The man also is accused of taking nude photos of two children living in his home.
The man, 45, first came to the Marysville police department’s attention in April after special agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement linked his credit card to child pornography Web sites, according to a police affidavit filed Wednesday in Everett District Court.
Police searches of the man’s home turned up evidence that he collected young girls underwear and swim suits, had computers full of child pornography and had sexually abused the daughter of his girlfriend and had taken nude photos of his son, the court paper said.
Detectives also found a sophisticated marijuana-growing operation in a hidden crawl space.
During interviews with the girl who lived in the home, she told detectives the man took pictures of her, showed her pornography and touched her inappropriately, the court document said.
The man was booked into the Snohomish Count Jail for investigation of possession of child pornography, sexual exploitation of a minor and second-degree rape of a child.
He was previously jailed for investigation of drug charges and posted bond, the papers said.
