As of this morning, he has yet to be charged with anything. The allegation of 'conspiracy to distribute' may be part and parcel of any investigation of this type.

Funny (in a weird way), I just noted (while writing 'of this type'), I have trouble even typing the words 'child pornography'.

You are correct. He has been arrested but not charged. I believe that the "conspiracy to distribute" tag was part of the arrest procedure.
