A registered sex offender is accused of more sex crimes against children in Eau Claire County.
Michael Steindl was convicted for the first time in 1994 and has been on the sex offender registration list for nearly 20 years.
He was charged Monday with five counts of possessing child pornography.
Eau Claire police got a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that child porn images had been associated with a phone number belonging to Steindl.
He told officers they likely came from malware and ads.
Steindl has a follow-up hearing set for December 28th.
