Grand Jury Issues Child Porn Indictment; Five Felony Counts For Distribution Included

SNOW HILL — A Worcester County grand jury last week indicted an Ocean City man on 55 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography following a long investigation dating back to 2017.

Jarrett John Wise, 52, was indicted last week by a Worcester County grand jury on five counts of felony distribution of child pornography and 50 total counts of possession of child pornography. Last summer, a Maryland State Police trooper executed a search warrant at Wise’s Ocean City home and seized a computer.

As a result of the investigation, an arrest warrant was issued and served last Thursday. Wise was held initially without bond. However, following a bail review hearing on Monday, he was released after posting a $25,000 bond.

The charges against Wise date back as early as October 2017 including the felony counts of distribution of photographs of a minor engaged in sexual conduct. The indictment also includes 50 counts of possession of photographs depicting an individual under age 16 engaged in sexual conduct, possession of videos depicting an individual under age 16 engaged in sexual conduct and possession of visual representations of an individual under the age of 16 engaged in sexual conduct.

If the crime(s) weren't discovered until recently, how do you expect the guy to be charged years ago?

The way the article is written looks like it was seized in 2019.

The special prosecutor was appointed then it seems..no doubt investigation took quite a bit of time.

If it was seized last year they more than likely dumped the hard drive and subpoenaed ISP. They can go back years and charge accordingly.
