(West Fargo, ND) -- Police arrested a West Fargo man on child porn charges after the discovery of explicit content on his a social media account.

An investigation into Dustin Ray Fredrickson began last month after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a tip about child porn on his Snapchat account. When investigators searched the account, they reportedly found sexually explicit images of children, and Fredrickson was arrested. He's previously served time in prison for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl and failing to register as a sex offender.
