Bowman was booked into the Osage County jail on possession of child pornography, aggravated possession of child pornography and violation of the computer crimes act. Possession of more 100-plus images constitutes 'aggravated possession,' according to state law.
Police said the images and videos were found on his computer and were of girls ages 7 to 12 years old.
Bowman worked as a train conductor at the zoo but was suspended after his arrest. Authorities say the child in the sexual abuse complaint was someone he knew, not a child he met through his job.
The Tulsa Zoo tells us Bowman no longer works there.
