Cherry was on parole after having been sentenced to two years in prison after being convicted in 2019 of sexual battery, illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
He turned over his phone to his parole officer as a condition of his parole, and search history indicated that he was seeking child pornography, according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
A forensic search turned up images that led to the charges he is now facing.
He is not in custody, but a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
He is set to be arraigned on Aug. 4.
