On December 20, 2011, members from the Ocean City Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) concluded a nearly two-year child pornography investigation. Laurence John Bode, 60, of Ocean City, was arrested and charged with two counts of distribution of child pornography, two counts of distribution of obscene matter and 12 counts of possession of child pornography.
Detectives began their investigation into Bode in July 2010 after being contacted by HSI Resident Agent-in-Charge, Ocean City Office, who alleged that Bode was distributing images of child pornography through the Internet. In December 2011, Bode was indicted by a grand jury on a total of 16 child pornography related charges.
Bode was held on a $100,000 pre-set bond and transferred to the Worcester County Jail.
