(KAIR)--An Easton man is facing child sex-related charges.
That follows Monday’s arrest of 41-year-old Christopher Patrick.
According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the investigation, leading to Patrick’s arrest, began last summer.
In the fall of 2018, Wilson said his department assisted the Department of Homeland Security serve a search warrant at an Atchison apartment.
Following that action, the case was presented to the Atchison County Attorney’s Office and a warrant was issued.
Patrick was taken into custody on the warrant charging him with three counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Wilson said the arrest was made in Leavenworth County by the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office.
According to court documents, all three counts stem from the allegation that Patrick was in possession of a visual depiction of a child under the age of 18 engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The alleged crimes occurred in September 2017 and November 2018.
Following his arrest, Patrick was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
According to jail records, his bond is set at $50,000.
A court appearance for Patrick is scheduled for May 6.
