SUNRIVER, OR -- A local school bus driver is accused of encouraging child sex abuse, following an investigation into child pornography. Police traced the downloading of images depicting child porn to the Sunriver home of 62-year-old Karl Trinrud. 

Officers from Sunriver and Bend Police executed a search warrant Friday, and Detectives notified Bend-La Pine Schools of Trinrud’s arrest. He faces three counts but authorities say additional charges could follow. 

Bend Police were assisted in the investigation by Sunriver PD, Bend-La Pine Schools and the Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
