A 24-year-old Coeur d’Alene man has been charged in federal court with possession of child pornography.

Scott Tyler Aresvik faces up to 10 years and prison and lifetime probation for one count of possession of sexually explicit images of minors.

The charge alleges he possessed the images on a Gateway laptop computer Dec. 15. He would be forced to give up the computer under a forfeiture charge also filed last week in U.S. District Court.

Aresvik waived a grand jury indictment and is not in custody.

He was booked into jail on a probation violation Dec. 15 and has a previous domestic violence case in Kootenai County.
