SHALLOTTE, N.C. (WECT) – A Shallotte man is in jail under a $1 million bond after he was arrested on nearly two dozen child porn-related charges.

Stephen Andrew Wareheim, 61, was taken into custody at his home on Country Club Drive on Tuesday and charged with ten counts each of second-degree exploitation of a minor and third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

According to arrest warrants from the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office, Wareheim “unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did possess material containing a visual representation” of underage children engaged in various forms of graphic sexual activity.

A sheriff’s office spokesperson said that investigators received a tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children task force, which is described as a national network of 61 coordinated task forces representing over 4,500 federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies.
