Some video files and images showed children as young as 5-7 years old engaging in sex acts, the report said.
After a search warrant was executed at Sampang's home Thursday, he admitted to viewing and distributing the materials on Kik, the report said.
The report said Sampang's mother provided his cell phone number which is the same number associated with the email account used for the Kik account.
