MADISON TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A Madison Township man is facing charges for possession of child pornography following an undercover investigation by the Geauga County Sheriff's Office.

William H. McFadden IV, 35, is charged with one count of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony.
