A Norman man faces two felony counts relating to child pornography.
Alijah Gabriel Mendoza, 24, was charged Jan. 15 in Cleveland County District Court with procuring, producing, distributing or possessing child pornography and violation of state statute via computer.
According to a court affidavit, a criminal investigator with the Department of Homeland Security investigations division in Oklahoma City received a case referral Nov. 29, 2018, regarding a list of Kik users who were reported for child exploitation activities, including a username tracked to Mendoza.
In July 2019, the investigator served a summons on Cox Communications Inc. and received records allegedly related to an IP address owned by John Vanover, who once lived with Mendoza in Oklahoma City.
