A Seminole man has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of child pornography possession after an investigation by local law enforcement. The Crimes Against Children Unit (CAC) of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office pinpointed 23-year-old Anthony Ditomaso Jr. as the suspect in the illegal distribution and procurement of illicit materials involving minors.
Having been tipped off that such materials were being accessed and shared online, detectives employed a variety of investigative techniques which then led them to Ditomaso. After being accessed and shared via the internet, the detectives found videos featuring children as young as one and as old as fifteen.
On August 28, two days prior to this report, the suspect was taken into custody. According to the press release from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Ditomaso now faces 22 counts of Possession of Child Pornography. After the arrest, Ditomaso was transported to the Pinellas County Jail, where he remains pending further legal actions.
As the investigation unfolds, detectives are continuing their work on the case, signaling that further details may be disclosed at a later date.
