Prosecutors charged a Columbia man Friday with having dozens of images of child pornography on his cellphone.

Daniel S. Carinder, 24, remained in the Boone County Jail on Friday afternoon on a $250,000 bond after an initial arraignment.

The investigation began in early April with a report to a Boone County deputy that Carinder had child pornography in a Telegram messaging app account, according to a probable cause statement. Screenshots allegedly showed lewd pictures of teen girls sent to Carinder by another app user.

Investigators seized Carinder’s phone on May 1 and found 40 images of naked girls in sexual situations from toddler age to 14 years old, the statement says.

A bond hearing is set for Thursday.
