Little Rock man faces 150 child porn charges

Little Rock police Thursday morning arrested a man who faces 150 felony child pornography charges, according to an arrest report.

Just after 6 a.m. Thursday, officers executed a search warrant at an apartment at 5500 Highland Drive where Taylor Rogers, 29, of Little Rock, was living.

A brief search of electronics there reportedly led to the discovery of child pornography, and Rogers was arrested.

Rogers is charged with 150 counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child, although the report stated that a forensic analysis of the electronic devices may lead to more charges.

Rogers did not appear in the Pulaski County jail's online inmate roster Friday night.
