A Baton Rouge man has been arrested for possession of child pornography and material showing sexual abuse of an animal, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.

The Sheriff's Office began an investigation in April after receiving cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

As a result of the investigation, Devin Michael Triche, 38, was arrested Tuesday on 100 counts of pornography involving juveniles and two counts of sexual abuse of an animal, the Sheriff's Office said.
