Investigators from the Macomb County Sheriff's Office Computer Crimes Unit received a tip that child porn images were uploaded from a home in Shelby Township. The tip came from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Detectives searched the home of Frame and located pornographic images both printed and electronic inside the home. Frame was arrested and charged with five counts of Possession of Child Sexually Abusive Material, one count of Using a Computer to Commit Crime and a misdemeanor charge for possessing marijuana.
He was given a $10,000 cash-or-surety bond on Saturday. He posted bond and was released from jail. On Monday, he was arraigned on those charges and the bond was continued.
