Woodbury Man Charged With Possession Of Child Pornography

WOODBURY, MN — A Woodbury man was charged in the Washington County District Court with eight counts of possessing child pornography, according to a news release from the Minnesota Department of Safety's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

William Glenn Pinckney, 34, was identified following an investigation by the Minnesota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, led by the BCA, officials said.

Investigation began in May when ICAC agents received multiple tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, officials said. The tips all appeared to be associated with one person, later identified as Pinckney, using a Google account to store child pornography, officials said.

ICAC agents executed a search warrant Thursday and found multiple electronic devices being used to store hundreds of files of child pornography, with each file depicting a different victim, officials said.
