CLEVELAND — A Cleveland man has been arrested for distributing child pornography.
According to an FBI spokesperson, on August 7, an undercover police officer joined a chat room named "Pedcast Chat."
During the officer's conversation with a 26-year-old man using the screen name "benshady69," the man indicated that he would have access to his two small children this weekend and had previously "played" with them and planned on making a video with them.

On August 14, the man was arrested without incident.
He has been charged with receipt and distribution of child pornography.
