A New Mexico man was arrested last week after taking child porn photos in Phoenix and Albuquerque. 

On December 5, detectives from the Phoenix and Albuquerque police departments arrested 50-year-old Pascal Pierre Nemmar at his home in Albuquerque. 

Phoenix police investigators were alerted by Yahoo that child porn images were uploaded to Nemmar's account.

Embedded data on some of the photos showed that they were taken in August at an address in North Phoenix near 16th Street and Union Hills Drive. 

Police say 18 photos of the child were pornographic in nature. 

Police also reportedly found an open sexual abuse investigation at that address involving a 2-year-old girl. At the time, Nemmar was at the home told police that he was from Albuquerque and was visiting friends. 

When investigators looked further into Nemmar's accounts, they allegedly found more pornographic photos of the child taken with the same phone. Police say Nemmar was babysitting the child at his Albuquerque home at that time. 

Nemmar is being held without bond in a jail in Bernalillo County New Mexico.
