Owings Mills Man Faces Child Pornography Charges

An Owings Mills man has been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.

Charges came after a detective noticed someone sharing pornographic images of children online last month and got a search warrant for a residence in the unit block of Baroness Court, according to a statement from the Baltimore County Police Department.

While serving the warrant Tuesday, July 7, police found several computers and electronic devices containing child pornography, the statement said.

Police determined that Ji Yeab Kang, 27, who lived at the residence, was responsible, according to the statement.

Kang works as a custodian at Marriotts Ridge High School in Howard County. The school system did not immediately return a request for comment.

The Baltimore County Police Digital and Multi-Media Evidence Unit is continuing to analyze the evidence, and the Crimes Against Children Unit is investigating the case.

Kang has a preliminary hearing on July 31 in Baltimore County District Court for two counts of distributing child pornography and one count of child pornography possession.
