FARMINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) -- A Farmington man was arrested on child porn charges Monday, police said.

Police arrested 31-year-old Michael Brown after an investigation that began in December of 2012, at which time detectives learned that Brown was trading and uploading pornographic pictures and videos of minors over the internet.

On Monday, February 25th, police executed a search warrant at Brown's home, located at 279 Main St., and seized evidence including his computer.

Police said Brown's victims vary in age between 5 and 15, and they are working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to try to identify them.

Brown was charged with obscenity, possession of child pornography, and promoting a minor in an obscene performance.

Brown is being held on $150,000 bond.
