A 56-year-old Big Island man was arraigned Thursday afternoon in federal court after being arrested Wednesday night for production and distribution of child pornography, the FBI reported.
John Tucker of Pahoa was identified through tips from the public after the FBI on Tuesday sought help in identifying a man depicted in sexual acts with children in photographs that surfaced on the Internet.
FBI special agents arrested Tucker at 9:40 p.m. without incident on the Big Island, according to the FBI.
