Boardman police say they're obtaining warrants to inspect computers seized from two township homes on Friday.
Officers spent the morning searching both the former and current homes of a 47-year-old Robert Boyd.
Police searched a home on the 5500 block of Lockwood Boulevard where Boyd is currently living, as well as his former residence on the 5500 block of West Boulevard that was damaged by fire last year.
Police Chief Jack Nichols tells 21 News that investigators want to inspect the computers to find out if they contain any sexually oriented material.
Nichols says the searches stem from information that a juvenile female provided to a school resource officer.
Boyd was taken into custody on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and providing alcohol to a minor.
According to court documents, the alleged offenses took place on three different dates in March and April.
