Mystery kid-porn trove found in Ohio house

CLEVES, Ohio, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Police in a small Ohio town say it could take a month to sort through a cache of child pornography dating back 30 years that was found in an empty house.

The pictures, videotapes and computer discs were discovered this week by a crew cleaning out an old house in Cleves, several miles west of Cincinnati, that had been sold at a sheriff's auction earlier this summer.

The Cincinnati Enquirer said Wednesday investigators are trying to track down the previous owner, but cautioned someone else could be the owner of the material.

"We don't know who was in and out of that house," Police. Lt. Steve Hickey said.

Cincinnati police were contacted to assist the small Cleves force with the investigation.

The Enquirer said the discovery stunned the small town and prompted several concerned parents to call the police department to see what was going on.
