Both are barred from using the Internet or being around minors without adults present.
A Tallmadge detective working with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began investigating Anderson in April, according to police. He reported finding Anderson used a peer-to-peer file-sharing network to download at least a dozen child pornography videos. The videos depict boys and girls between ages 10 and 16 being sexually abused, including some who were sleeping, according to court records.
Officers with ICAC, the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task and Akron police raided the Anderson’s home in the 1100 block of Delos Street on April 27. Investigators said they found numerous files of obvious child pornography during the search.
Task force officers began investigating Spaulding on Feb. 11. Agents and task force officers raided his home in the 4400 block of Provens Drive on April 27. Police said Spaulding also downloaded from a peer-to-peer network. Spaulding is accused of downloading several photos and videos of children engaged in sex acts, according to investigators.
Investigators sent computers found in both investigations to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s crime lab for analysis.
