Marc Temkin

A former New York district attorney was arrested at his home in the Tucson mountains last week, in connection with multiple child sex abuse charges.

Marc Temkin is facing 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, said Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman, Deputy Ryan Inglett.

Last week, several images depicting juvenile girls in a sexually explicit manner were uploaded from an IP address at a home in the 800 block of North Via Roma, Inglett said.

PCSD detectives and Tucson Police Department's internet crimes against children detectives determined that the home and the IP address belongs to Temkin, 66, who is a retired district Attorney from New York state, Inglett said.

Detectives served a warrant on Temkin's home Jan. 26, arresting him for 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, Inglett said.

The investigation is ongoing and more information will be released as it becomes available.
