A search of his home found four AI-generated videos depicting child celebrities that contained abuse material, along with other AI-generated videos and printed photographs. He had been arrested earlier, in July 2025, by another police agency for similar uploads. He remains held without bond.

No source states when the material was created, so date_occurred is left out. No source gives a disclosure date from the implicated parties; the article dates (2026-01-16) are publication metadata and were not used. Country is not stated as a country name; Florida and Marion County are stated, but the US inference was not written. Detection method 'third_party' is a judgement that the sheriff's investigation was external to the system. Severity 'moderate' is a judgement based on 257 files distributed with a bounded count; the sources say detectives 'believe he may have live victims', which is speculation and was not counted as affected parties. No safeguard, control, or remediation is mentioned in the sources, so controls and remediations are empty. Subject is a suspect accused, not convicted, and is described as such.
