An Elizabethtown man is facing nearly 30 child porn charges after being arrested on Thursday.

Kentucky State Police said 53-year-old Matthew H. Lewis has been charged with 20 counts of distribution of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance and seven counts of possession of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance.

He was arrested at his home after a KSP Electronic Crime Branch investigation that began after authorities discovered Lewis was sharing images of child exploitation online.

The investigation is ongoing.

Lewis was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.
