An Ashland man who is already a registered sex offender has been arrested on more than 100 counts of possession of matter portraying a sex performance by a minor.
Kentucky State Police say Michael Caudill, 25, is charged with 127 counts of possession of matter portraying a sex performance by a minor and one count of distribution. Each charge is punishable from one to five years in prison.
Caudill was arrested at his home along Pin Oak Drive Thursday following an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigation.

Detectives with the KSP Electronic Crime Branch say they began the investigation after observing Caudill sharing images of child sexual exploitation online, including images and video of prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts.
Caudill is a registered sex offender.
He was taken to the Boyd County Detention Center and was released after he posted a $100,000 bond.
We went to his home and asked Caudill if he’d like to talk about the accusations against him. He said he had no comment.
Caudill is due back in court Aug. 19.
