Yesterday, detectives from the Central Station in San Bernardino County received a cyber tip that ultimately led them to a residence located in the 21200 block of Lone Eagle Road, Apple Valley. Upon further investigation and subsequent contact with 46-year-old James Florence, detectives discovered and seized multiple electronic devices allegedly containing child pornography, according to an official statement from San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department.
James Florence has since been arrested on suspected charges of possession of child pornography, and was booked at the High Desert Detention Center for a parole violation. The investigation, however, is far from over—the forensic examination of the seized electronic devices is expected to yield more insights into the case.
Sheriff-Coroner Shannon D. Dicus of the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department urges anyone with possible information regarding this case to reach out to Detective J. Applegate or utilize the We-Tip Hotline to submit anonymous tips.
