An investigation by Danish National Police ultimately led back to Dingler.
And affidavit alleges that on three separate occasions between 2011 and 2012, Dingler took photos himself engaging in sexual contact with a young girl who was between the ages of 4 and 6 years old at the time.
The affadavit says in total, Dingler took 29 pictures of the child, and then sent the photos to someone online.
The complaint states that in March 2013, the Homeland Security Investigations office in Birmingham received the images of child pornography from a website found by the Danish National Police. A University of Alabama blanket could be seen in one of the images. The blanket helped lead investigators to Dingler.
