John Joseph Varn, 32, is facing five charges connected to the sexual exploitation of minors, the attorney general’s office announced Wednesday.

Investigators said Varn possessed files of child sexual abuse material.

Varn was arrested Tuesday. He is charged with five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, third degree, a felony offense punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment on each count.
