LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Shepherdsville man is facing more than 100 child pornography charges after an investigation by Kentucky State Police. It's also not the first time he's been in trouble with police.
According to an arrest report, KSP's undercover Internet Crimes Against Children unit was alerted to a social media account belonging to 35-year-old Bryan Wilson earlier this month.
Someone reported the account for containing child pornography. Police say they investigated the account, which contained sexual images of children as young as toddlers, as well as teenagers.
As a result, police executed a search warrant at Wilson's home in Bullitt County. According to the arrest report, investigators found more than 30 files containing child pornography on Wilson's electronic devices.
Wilson allegedly admitted to having the child pornography. Police say he told them he did not know any of the children on his devices.
He was arrested on Wednesday evening and charged with 100 counts of distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, as well as 30 counts of possession or viewing of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.

"It's kind of scary. You just really wonder who's living next door," John Smith said.
According to police, child pornography is an incredibly prevalent crime.
"This happens time and time again and thankfully we have a branch in KSP that is solely dedicated to investigating internet crimes against children," says Trooper Robert Purdy, Public Affairs for Kentucky State Police.
Police said in 2016, he used his cell phone to record videos of men and boys using the bathroom at a Louisville Chick-fil-A. Wilson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of attempted video voyeurism. He was sentenced to one year. That was suspended, and he was given two years of supervised probation.
He is currently being held in the Bullitt County Detention Center on a $20,000 cash bond. He is considered dangerous. A judge ordered him Thursday morning not to have contact with anyone under the age of 18 with out supervision. His next court appearance is set for January 30.
