Severn man arrested for possession of child pornography

The Anne Arundel County Police have arrested a Severn man for possession of child pornography after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

On July 24, 2019, the Anne Arundel County Child Abuse Unit initiated an investigation in reference to a report of a specific account that was directly associated in uploading child pornographic images to a particular internet site. The information was provided by the “National Center for Missing and Exploited Children” (NCMEC) which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent child victimization.

As the result of issuing and executing several court orders, detectives identified a physical address involved with uploading the child pornography. On October 2nd, 2019 detectives executed a search warrant at an address in the 1800 block of Watch House Circle South in Severn Maryland. Numerous digital devices were seized as evidence in order that the electronic devices could be forensically analyzed. The suspect, identified as Brian David Frisby, a fifty-two year old male from the 1800 block of Watch House Circle South, was on-scene and interviewed in regards to the ongoing investigation.

After receiving the results from the forensic extraction of the digital devices seized during the search warrant, detectives recovered evidence of child pornography. Child Abuse detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Brian Frisby charging him with nine counts of possession of child pornography. On February 4th, 2020, Frisby was placed under arrest without incident.
