Initial forensic review of Houck’s cell phones revealed that Houck also allegedly traded child pornography with other individuals online on platforms like Snapchat.
Earlier this month, Houck allegedly messaged online with a man about the possibility of meeting up to find children with whom to engage in sexually explicit conduct together.
Houck was originally arrested on local charges of gross sexual imposition, voyeurism, pandering obscenity, and child endangering.
He is now charged federally with producing, distributing, and possessing child pornography.
