Florida Teen Arrested on Child Porn Charges

Following an undercover operation, Florida authorities have arrested a suspect who they say has been sending and receiving more than a hundred images of children involved in sex acts -- and it turns out he's a child, too.

The 16-year-old Yulee resident, whose name is being withheld because he's a juvenile, was taken into custody after an investigation that began when an undercover DHS agent made contact with him on the Anonymous Chat website, according to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office.

The teen sent the agent a link to his collection, which included more than 100 child pornography files, according to the NCSO.

A subsequent search of the teen's home turned up two cell phones with sexually-explicit photos and videos of children, many of whom are under 10 years old, according to an arrest affidavit.

The teen was arrested last week and faces charges of possession, receipt and distribution of child pornography and video voyeurism, the sheriff's office reports.
