According to the sheriff's office, the investigation began in May following an allegation that a York County resident possessed child pornography. An investigator allegedly found videos on Pyle's laptop that violate Virginia's child pornography laws.

Pyle is being held in the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail, the sheriff's office said.
