(Bismarck, ND) — Burleigh County prosecutors have charged a Bismarck man with 22 counts of possession of child sex abuse materials.
Police arrested Austin Diede in February for allegedly sharing child sexual abuse materials using Zoom. Authorities say after a recent review of all of his devices, they found more than 5,000 explicit videos which warranted additional charges.
Officers say he used a New Zealand-based app and Zoom to distribute the videos.
