MARLBOROUGH — A 37-year-old man was arrested Aug. 12 on three counts of possession of child pornography, according to the Marlborough Police Department.
Michael L. Ryan was previously arrested by Marlborough police in February for similar activity.
Last month, Marlborough detectives received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding images and videos of suspected child pornography being uploaded to Google from a Marlborough residence.
A subpoena was filed through the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office and several search warrants were issued by Marlborough District Court.
On Aug. 7, Marlborough detectives located Ryan and seized several electronic devices in his possession.
The devices were brought to the Marlborough Police Department and forensically analyzed.
Within some of the seized devices, detectives located images of young children who appear to be under 18 years old depicted in a lewd state of nudity and/or sex acts.
These findings, as well as other data found on the devices, led detectives to another Google Cloud account Ryan created and accessed.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for this secondary account and discovered more videos of very young children depicted in a lewd state of nudity and/or sex acts.
Ryan was transported to Marlborough District Court for arraignment.
