A Wyandotte County man is accused of having and distributing thousands of pornographic images and videos of children.

Robert Boyce, 29, is charged with 18 counts of sexual exploitation of a child, 13 of which involve possession of child porn and five of which involve distribution of child porn.

It's the first arrest since the sheriff launched an Internet Crimes Unit.

"The sheriff's office is happy to be in a position to be in the task force, although we had no idea it was going to result in quite as many investigations as it has," said Sheriff Donald Ash.

Boyce could be facing a life sentence.

He'll be in court on July 12.
