The trial for a convicted sex offender continued Wednesday.

62-year-old Eric Wanamaker has a 30-year criminal record for sex-related crimes and served 11 years in prison for sex offences against children.

A forensic expert testified Wednesday that he found tens of thousands of images of young children either nude or partially nude on Wannamaker’s computer.

Wanamaker was denied bail at a hearing on Monday.

He was taken into custody in December after his roommate told police he saw inappropriate images on Wanamaker’s computer.
