A convicted sex offender has been arrested for allegedly possessing child pornography.
Daniel Boyer, 50, of Mishawaka, was arrested on Monday, Dec. 23 and booked into the St. Joseph County Jail on suspicion of possession of child pornography.

Investigators with the St. Joseph County Cyber Crimes Unit found more than 200 images on the phone that appeared to be images of child pornography and child exploitation involving young, nude males engaging in sex acts and selfies of Boyer, according to the probable cause affidavit, ABC 57 reported.
Boyer was previously convicted of possession of child pornography and was on parole at the time.
