A Glendale man has been arrested on sex crimes charges.
Sergeant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said on Wednesday deputies contacted 39-year old Paul Wertz regarding a sex crime investigation.
O’Dell said detectives had been investigating a report that Wertz was in possession of pornographic images of a minor child on his cell phone. Detectives determined that Wertz had taken nude photos of a five-year-old female who was known to him.
He was jailed on charges of possession of materials depicting sexually explicit conduct of a child in the first degree, using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct and for private indecency. He was initially detained on $481,250 bail.
