Story highlights A Maryland man who was elected as a delegate for Donald Trump was indicted on child pornography charges

He also faced charges of possession of an illegal gun and explosives

(CNN) A Maryland man who was elected as a delegate for Donald Trump to the Republican National Convention has been charged with creation and possession of child pornography and possession of an illegal gun and explosives.

A federal grand jury indicted Caleb Bailey on Wednesday, following an investigation led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives according to court records.

The indictment alleges between March 2015 and this past January, Bailey attempted to use and did use a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce child pornography.

The investigation began in February when Caleb Bailey shipped a package to a person in Wisconsin, but it ruptured open at a postal facility in Capital Heights, Maryland, according to a federal criminal complaint. Postal officials called ATF agents to the scene to investigate the package.

They found it contained 119 rounds of .50 caliber cartridges with incendiary projectiles, which are regulated as explosives, and 200 rounds of spotting projectiles, which also contained an explosive charge, according to the affidavit.
