Ripon man arrested in child pornography case

A Ripon man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of possessing child pornography.

The Ripon Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit initiated a peer-to-peer investigation earlier this year regarding suspected child pornography. In February, detectives served a search warrant at a home connected to the investigation.

Electronic evidence was seized and later examined.

On Thursday detectives returned to the suspect’s home with a warrant for his arrest.

Kevin Andrew McManis, 55, Ripon was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on a felony charge of possession of child pornography.
