BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida man who was caught downloading thousands of images that contained either child pornography or child erotica said he viewed the graphic content as a “boredom killer” even though he knew it was wrong, according to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they began investigating in April 2019 after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that led them to an address in Merritt Island.
More tips related to the same user came again in April then in June of that year, which led to a warrant being drafted and executed for a Microsoft OneDrive, which was found to contain 7,548 images, 119 of which were child pornography while the rest were child erotica, records show.
