DOJ: Nicholas Clark, 21, distributed, received child porn images

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 21-year-old Yulee man who was arrested Friday has been charged in a federal court with distributing and receiving child pornography.

Through investigations spawned by another person's arrest, officials discovered Nicholas Clark was engaging in text messages, where Clark received and distributed photos of a minor engaging in sexual explicit conduct.

An examination of Clark's computer revealed more images of child pornography, and agents located Google search terms like "young boys on cam" and "teen boy sex," according to the Department of Justice.

Clark, who was employed as an after-school counselor by a youth development organization and worked with youth through various churches, faces a mandatory minimum penalty of five years, up to 20 years in federal prison, as well as a potential life term of supervision.

A hearing is set for Clark on Sept. 18.
