A Harrison man, 74-year-old Jerome Allan Yester, has been arrested and charged on 30 felony counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge says Yester was arrested by the AG’s Cyber Crimes Unit. He is reportedly being held in the Boone County Jail.

Special agents in the Attorney General’s office began investigating Yester after agents determined someone using a computer at Yester’s address downloaded sexually explicit material involving children. The investigative file will be turned over to 14th Judicial District Prosecutor David Ethredge.
