SAND SPRINGS, Okla. - An 18-year-old Sand Springs resident is out on bond after investigators linked four files of child porn to his computer's IP address.

Robert Sternke was arrested Wednesday evening. Authorities had been investigating Sternke since early November, according to his booking report.

When Sand Springs police arrived at Sternke's home, he confirmed accusations of illegal porn possession but refused to speak once at the station, the report states.

Authorities also discovered marijuana at the home.

Sternke faces four counts of possession of child pornography, along with possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.

Sternke was released on $40,500 bond Thursday afternoon. He is expected in court Jan. 2.
