Columbia man arrested on suspicion of having child porn

Authorities have arrested a Columbia man on suspicion of having child pornography. Nicholas Ross, 29, was taken into custody on Monday.

The investigation leading to Ross’ arrest started in March, when a member of the Boone County Sheriff’s Department Cyber Crimes Task Force linked an IP address in Columbia to child pornography.

During a search, authorities seized a computer and found multiple videos showing the sexual molestation of young children.

Ross, 29, was arrested for possession of child pornography. As of Monday afternoon, his bond has not been set.
