A Battle Ground man accused of viewing thousands of images of child pornography made a first appearance Friday in Clark County Superior Court.
Oleg V. Fabyanchuk, 37, appeared on suspicion of five counts of second-degree dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, one count of first-degree possessing depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct and one count of first-degree internet viewing of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
On July 18, the Vancouver Police Department Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit received a tip from the Department of Homeland Security about child pornography being shared on a peer-to-peer network from somewhere in Battle Ground, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Between July 2 and Oct. 6, investigators downloaded thousands of images of child pornography. The downloaded files were obtained from a digital device traced back to Fabyanchuk’s residence, the affidavit states.
