Florida man arrested over largest child pornography collection

A Florida man has been charged with a whopping 1,184 counts of possession of child pornography. Detectives call the massive child porn cache the largest they’ve ever seen.

On December 29, Johnathan Jhovanni Hernandez was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of transmitting child pornography and one count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a crime. Hernandez’s arrest was facilitated after a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and a months-long investigation.

The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office written down“We told you at the time that the investigation was just beginning and there would likely be more charges. What we should have said was that there would probably be WAY more indictments – like more than any other in our county…ever. “

Hernandez, who had been out on bail, was arrested again Tuesday.

The Special Victims Unit seized 15 electronic devices from the Hernandez home in Avon Park. After a second inspection of just one of the suspect’s devices by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, Hernandez was faced with an additional 1,182 counts of child pornography possession last week.

Highlands County Sheriff’s Department detectives say Hernandez’s stash of child pornography is “the biggest they’ve ever seen.”

Hernandez also faces four counts of possession of sodomy images.

Hernandez is being held on a $2.4 million bond.

The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office stated that Hernandez had “enough charges to potentially see him in prison for life.”

“There’s no telling how many charges he would face if detectives went through all the devices,” the Highland County Sheriff’s Office said.
