> SMYRNA — A 54-year-old registered sex offender has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography following an investigation by the Smyrna Police Department, the Department of Justice and the Delaware State Police High Tech Crimes Unit.
>
> Agents on Tuesday raided the home of Stephen W. Carman, in the 400 block of Smyrna/Clayton Boulevard, and seized computer equipment and a small amount of marijuana, according to Lt. Norman Wood, spokesman for the Smyrna Police Department.
>
> Over the next two days, forensic examiners with the state police’s High Tech Crimes Unit discovered more than 50 images of child pornography on Mr. Carman’s equipment, according to a warrant obtained by the Delaware State News.
>
> "Each of those 56 counts of dealing in child pornography carries with it a two-year minimum-mandatory sentence which are stacked on top of one another," said Delaware Attorney General Joseph R. "Beau" Biden III. "He conceivably faces 100 years of a minimum-mandatory sentence."
>
> Equipment seized during the first raid included two computers, four external hard drives and other assorted digital media, the warrant states.
>
> Investigators were familiar with some of the images, including an adult male engaged in intercourse with a child of about 5, and a picture series titled "Vicky," which depicts an adult male having intercourse with a 10- to 11-year-old girl, according to the warrant.
>
> With the photographic evidence, the Delaware State Police obtained a warrant for Mr. Carman’s arrest, and Smyrna Police Department took him into custody without incident on Wednesday, charging him with 29 counts of possession of child pornography.
>
> He was held in lieu of $145,000 secured bond.
>
> Attorney General Biden said the investigation is ongoing and he was limited in what he could share at this time.
>
> "This is the type of case that highlights the need to have the Delaware Child Predator Task Force, which works on these cases every day and is comprised of every single law enforcement unit in this state," Attorney General Biden said.
>
> Justice Department spokesman Jason Miller said an announcement with more details about the case will probably be made Monday.
>
> Mr. Carman is one of 33 registered sex offenders living in Smyrna. He is listed in the Delaware Sex Offender Registry as a Tier II offender, the second of three risk assessment designations.
>
> He served time in James Vaughn Correctional Center after being convicted on Oct. 12, 1994, of second-degree unlawful sexual contact, attempted sodomy, sodomy with a child, and indecent acts on a female younger than 16. The ages of the victims were 6, 7 and 8.
