## Summary

New court documents say FBI agents arrested Kyle Brennan, 40, at his workplace in Herndon, Virginia, on Friday on a felony charge of transporting child sexual abuse material. The charge is an allegation, and Brennan is scheduled to make his first court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia.

An affidavit says investigators found about 88 images on his iPhone that appeared to depict minor girls in sexually explicit situations.
