Citrus County, Florida - Police bust man with child porn
By Khuong Phan, 05/17/07
A three-week investigation led to the arrest of a Homosassa man Tuesday who authorities believe dealt in child pornography.
According to a Citrus County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, on April 27, 2007, an agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Computer Crime Center in Tallahassee began an investigation of child pornography on the Internet.
Agents determined that 6710 West Linden Drive in Homosassa was one place of many where the material was actively being traded. On Tuesday, a search warrant was executed on the residence and Roger William “Billy” Jenkins, 58, was arrested.
Initially, Jenkins denied the allegations, but he reportedly later said he had downloaded various files of child pornography during the last five years and admitted to using file-sharing software.
A search of Jenkins’ computer yielded three videos, which all contained “young female children engaged in various sex acts,” the report notes. There was also a computer disc, titled “Pedo Queeny,” found in Jenkins’ bedroom, which contained five videos of girls under the age of 18 engaged in sexual acts.
Jenkins was charged with eight counts of possession of photographs of sexual performance by a child. Bond was set at $16,000.
Additional charges are anticipated once a complete forensic analysis is done on Jenkins’ computers and DVDs.
FDLE and CCSO conducted the joint investigation and both agencies are members of the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
