(KSL News) The self-described "King of child pornography" is scheduled to appear in court today.

Kirk Alan Swearingen, a trucker who's used over 40 aliases for the past two decades, was arrested yesterday by the FBI. Apparently a landlord contacted them when she realized his social security number was fake.

Fingerprints revealed his true identity.

Swearingen gave the FBI permission to search his computers and e-mail. They found a number of CDs of child pornography.

If convicted, Swearingen faces a minimum of 25 years in federal prison.
