A Vancouver man was in court Thursday morning for allegedly possessing at least 10 videos of child pornography.
Miles Clifford Lane, 63, appeared in custody in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of four counts of first-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct and four counts of first-degree dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Judge Daniel Stahnke set Lane’s bail at $40,000, which Lane posted, according to court records.
A Homeland Security Investigation special agent, assigned to the Vancouver Police Department’s Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit, went undercover to monitor people online who were distributing child pornography, according to an affidavit of probable cause. During the probe, the agent focused on an IP, or internet protocol, address that was later tracked to Lane’s residence, the affidavit said.
