JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Jefferson City man has downloaded files showing child pornography for "decades," he allegedly told investigators during a search at his home Wednesday.

Christopher J. Berry was charged Thursday with three counts of possession of child pornography. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he was not in Cole County Jail records Thursday afternoon.

Berry was interrogated at his home as part of a child porn distribution investigation, according to a probable cause statement. Berry admitted to using software to download files containing child porn and said he has done so for "decades," the statement says.

A Missouri State Highway Patrol investigator wrote that Berry had hundreds of the images on his computer.
