»  Comments | Post a Comment

LAKELAND - Twenty men were arrested this week on child pornography charges in what the Polk County Sheriff's Office called its largest child pornography sting operation to date.

One man identified in the sting has still not been arrested.

The youngest child in the images was a month old, and the average age of the victims was 8, Sheriff Grady Judd said during a news conference Thursday.

The suspects had more than 100,000 images of child pornography and 500 movies, Judd said.

Investigators started in October and finished in February.

One man was arrested Wednesday and 17 were arrested Thursday. Two others already were in Polk County Jail on unrelated charges, sheriff's spokeswoman Donna Wood said.

The suspects, who range in age from 17 to 64, all are from Polk County.

Charges against them were possession of pornography or promotion of pornography or both.

Many of the men face numerous counts.

None of the arrested men is a registered sexual offender or predator, Judd said at the news conference.
