A criminal complaint states that police were alerted that Myers allegedly contacted a 10-year-old girl over the internet. He is accused of sending sexually explicit messages to the girl, including a picture of himself, and said "it wouldn't be wrong if nobody finds out."

Through the course of an investigation, police found Myers' cell phone had "hundreds" of images containing child pornography and a tablet with more than 1,000 child pornography videos.
