McCoy was then arrested by U.S. Marshals in West Virginia and extradited back to Michigan.
McCoy was charged with two counts of aggravated child sexually abusive activity, seven counts of aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, and eight counts of using a computer to commit a crime. McCoy was arraigned in the 91st District Court on December 12.
