BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA9) -- A Frederick County man has been indicted on federal charges for allegedly sending sexually explicit photos of a two-year-old girl to about 25 other people through the popular messaging service Kik.

Federal prosecutors say William Steinhaus of Brunswick also sent more than 290 messages to three other people through Kik, some of them discussing how Steinhaus could sexually abuse the toddler.

Between December 8 and 9, 2014, Steinhaus had messaged people on Kik about their shared sexual interest in prepubescent children, according to an indictment. Using his iPhone or iPad, prosecutors say Steinhaus took pictures of a two-year-old girl engaged in sexually explicit conduct and sent them to about 25 other people through Kik.

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA9) -- While some urban organizations and churches have supported programs like gun buybacks that take guns off the street, gun giveaways have become the number one fundraiser for many volunteer firefighting organizations in more rural areas.

The trend starkly illustrates the cultural divide on guns in the D.C. region.

"75 percent of the fire and rescue companies do some sort of gun raffle," Roy Lipscomb, former Brunswick Volunteer Fire Co. chief and gun store owner said.

Lipscomb is the founder of the premier gun giveaway contest in Frederick County, which offers 5000 buyers a chance to win a gun per day each day of the year in exchange for the purchase of a $50 sportsman's calendar. The proceeds benefit volunteer firefighters in Brunswick and Emmitsburg. Winners have the option of taking cash instead.

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA9) -- An investigation is ongoing after a fatal crash that left one man dead in Frederick Wednesday afternoon, Maryland State police said.

The crash happened around 2:02 p.m. at the intersection of Route 15 and Fish Hatchery Road, authorities stated. A 1995 Ford Escort Station Wagon driven by Lester Rice, 89, of Frederick was trying to cross over Route 15 from Fish Hatchery Road, the investigation shows. Rice failed to yield the right away for a 2000 GMC pickup truck being driven by Andy Tressler, 59, of Thurmont.

Police said Tressler's car crashed into the driver's side of Rice's car. Rice was ejected from the car and had life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.

He was taken to Shock Trauma in Baltimore where he died from his injuries.

According to authorities no charged have been filed at this time.
