Police charged a Maryland man on March 1 for allegedly possessing illicit images of children, following a tip from his cloud storage provider Verizon, which had detected the images in an online sweep of its service.
William Steven Albaugh, 67, a deacon at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, was arrested at home, where a search turned up additional images, according to a March 4 news report in The Baltimore Sun. The man had stored files in his personal Verizon Online Backup and Sharing account, according to police charging documents cited by The Sun.
