A 32-year-old Niles man is facing several charges for child pornography. Joshua Zehfus was arraigned December 10 for aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, distribution and manufacture of said material, and using a computer to commit a crime. The Michigan State Police Fifth District Computer Crimes Unit launched the investigation when Zehfus downloaded a “large amount” of child pornography. Digital evidence was seized during a police raid of his home. The MSP Computer Crimes unit is encouraging parents to talk to their kids about safely using the internet. They add the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has a list of resources online at missingkids.org.
