A U.S. Army major has been accused of videotaping and photographing himself raping an infant boy and disseminating the images on the Internet, federal prosecutors said.

Daniel A. Woolverton was taken into custody Wednesday after the FBI said it found child pornography on an file sharing Web site and then traced the images to a computer in the 34-year-old’s home in Arlington.

When investigators searched Woolverton’s home following the Army trial lawyer’s arrest, they found a memory card with images of man having sex with an infant boy, prosecutors said.

In those videos and pictures, a man wearing a wristwatch that matched Woolverton’s could also be seen raping the infant, charging documents filed in Alexandria’s federal court said. A bib worn by the infant in the images was found inside a Woolverton family vehicle and the pornographic images depict locations in Woolverton’s home, according to the court documents.

The FBI has identified the infant, but is protecting the victim’s identity.

A laptop with child porn images depicting other children was also found in Woolverton’s house, prosecutors said.

Authorities are concerned there might be other victims. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 202-278-2000.
