At the apartment, officers saw what appeared to be child sex abuse imagery and seized several electronics.
More information about the alleged crimes wasn't immediately available, and it wasn't immediately clear if Kohli had an attorney who could speak to the charges.Boston police and FBI agents were at the scene as well.
