The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has arrested Assistant District Attorney Kevin Etherington on child pornography charges.
On Sept. 1, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children forwarded 14 cyber tips linked to a single suspect to OSBI's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
The investigation led to the identification of 53-year-old Etherington as a possible suspect related to the cyber tips.
On Monday, OSBI ICAC Agents executed a search warrant at Etherington's Stillwater home.
Based on the results of the search, Etherington was taken into custody and transported to Payne County jail.
OSBI says he was booked on one count of aggravated possession of child pornography and one count of violation of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act.
Etherington currently serves as the first assistant district attorney for Payne and Logan counties.
OSBI says the Payne and Logan County District Attorney has cooperated fully with the investigation.
