WICHITA, KAN. – A federal grand jury in Wichita returned an indictment charging a Kansas man with crimes related to child pornography.

Eric Caleb Carlson, 43, of Wichita is charged with one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography, according to the United State's Attorney.

According to court documents, Synchronoss Technologies submitted two reports in June 2023 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding uploads of files containing child sexual abuse and exploitation materials to its cloud based backup service. An investigation led law enforcement authorities to identify and arrest Carlson.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) are investigating.
