LA PINE, OR -- A La Pine man faces 20 counts of Encouraging Child Sex Abuse after the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says he was caught distributing child porn on the internet.

The Southern Oregon Child Exploitation Team in Medford first discovered the material and the suspect’s location in January. Over the past few months, local detectives investigated 32-year-old Cody O’Neal after they determined the material came from his IP address.

O'Neil was arrested Wednesday during a search of his home. Detectives seized several digital devices and have applied for additional warrants to analize their contents.
