Police say man had child porn

A Spokane Valley man is accused of possessing child pornography after investigators found more than two dozen sexually explicit images in his e-mail.

Cory R. Greer, 28, “was cooperative and not considered a threat to the community” when police searched his apartment at 19221 E. Buckeye Ave. about 1:35 p.m. Tuesday, police said Wednesday.

Detectives are awaiting forensic examination of a computer and other seized items before arresting Greer.

The investigation began when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children told local law enforcement that child pornography was being sent through e-mail coming from a local Internet Protocol address. Deputy Damon Simmons traced the address to Greer.
