Dumfries Man Charged With Possession of Child Porn

Investigators arrested a Dumfries man after receiving a tip that he had possession of child porn through a social media account. 

David Edward Perry, 42, of Dumfries Road in Dumfries, is charged with possession of child pornography. 

On Sept. 4, members of the Northern Virginia-DC Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at Perry's residence, after The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a "cybertip" that Perry possessed child pornography. 

"The investigation revealed that the accused was in possession of child pornography via a social media account," police spokesman Officer Jonathan Perok said in a press release. 

After an investigation, Perry was arrested without incident. Police continue to investigate the case.
