WOODSBORO, Md. (WJZ) — A registered sex offender in Woodsboro was indicted on July 24 for 10 counts of distribution of child pornography.

Officials got a search and seizure warrant at White's home on South 2nd Street in Woodsboro on July 6. Several items were seized from the home and he was arrested and charged that day.

He had previously been investigated for and charged with possession of child pornography in 2014 in Montgomery County.

That case's charging documents indicate over 9,000 files of child sexual abuse material were found in his possession. He was found guilty and has been on probation and the sex offender registry since.

White remains held without bond at the Frederick County Adult Detention Center.
