A man is accused of uploading child pornography to the internet out of his home in suburban Frankfort.

An investigation led to Cardenas, who was taken in for questioning Feb. 7 as authorities searched his home where they seized several electronic devices, the sheriff’s office said.

Cardenas was charged after he “made incriminating statements” during the interview, the sheriff’s office said.

He was released from custody the next day after posting bail, the sheriff’s office said.
