Sex CD Found By Ohio Toddler Leads To Man's Arrest

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio (AP) - Police say a CD found by an Ohio toddler showing another child being sexually abused in Palm Springs, Calif., about six years ago has led to an Ohio man's arrest.

New Philadelphia police say 42-year-old Canton resident Jeffery Roderick is being held under $1 million bond on a charge of pandering sexual material involving a minor. The FBI and Palm Springs police also are investigating.

Police say the toddler found the CD lodged under a drawer in his home. Authorities say it shows Roderick sexually abusing the previous homeowner's 1- or 2-year-old granddaughter.

Roderick was arrested last month. The public defender's office says it has no comment.

WTOV-TV in Steubenville reports the current family has lived in the home for more than two years.
