LYNDEN, Wash. – Federal agents have arrested a Lynden man on charges he produced and shared child pornography online.

The website Rabbit reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a user named “Lovr E” posted sexually explicit pictures of two young girls in November.

The Bellingham Herald reports that username was traced to a residence in Lynden. Federal agents got a search warrant and questioned Jamie Bartels last Friday.

He eventually admitted to taking the pictures of the five and six-year-old girls at a motel in Bremerton.

He faces a federal court hearing in Seattle today.
