LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A 16-year-old Charlestown, Indiana, boy was arrested by Indiana State Police on Thursday and charged with possession of child pornography.

According to ISP, an investigation began in July after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip reported that an account was possibly used to "transmit child pornography images or video files."

Troopers arrested the boy at his home and charged him with three counts of child exploitation and four counts of possession of child pornography.

He was taken to the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center.
