CINCINNATI, Ohio-Eric Zachary Johnson, 29, has been indicted by the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office on 30 counts related to pandering sexual material involving a minor. The charges include 25 fourth-degree felonies and 5 second-degree felonies. The indictment follows a tip from the National Center for Missing and Endangered Children about Johnson’s internet account, leading to a search of his home on August 27. Authorities seized Johnson’s phone, computers, and hard drives, finding over 100 images of child sexual abuse material, 42 images of child exploitation, and 100 videos of children and women in public spaces. The investigation is ongoing, with over a million images and videos still to be analyzed. The prosecutor has urged anyone with concerns about possible contact between their child and Johnson to reach out to law enforcement.
