A Camden attorney is facing a felony charge for possessing sexually-explicit material, officials said on Thursday.
Thomas Karod, 56, was nabbed on a judicially approved arrest warrant “in reference to an ongoing investigation,” Maine State Police announced.
Under Maine law, sexually-explicit material is images of children under the age of 16 year.
The investigation is being conducted by the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit.
Karod was taken into custody without incident with the assistance of the Damariscotta and Camden Police Departments, authorities said.
His bail was set at $500 cash with conditions not to use the internet or have contact with children under the age of 18.
Karod, a 1991 graduate of the University of Maine, finished his legal education in 1994 at University of Maine School of Law.
He also has a graduate degree in business, which he received in 2004 from UMaine.
Karod was first licensed as a Maine attorney in 1994.
He is listed as the secretary for UMaine’s class of 1991.
