Police said they started investigating Brown after they arrested his friend, 45-year-old Kenneth Higgins of Revere, for the third time on child pornography charges. Police said they found evidence that led them to obtain a search warrant for Brown's apartment.

Brown is set to be arraigned in Chelsea District Court next week.
