TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that a 21-year old Sumter County man is in custody on charges of child pornography possession. Anthony Enoch was arrested this morning by law enforcement officers with the Attorney General’s Tampa CyberCrime Task Force after a joint investigation by the CyberCrime Unit and the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

Images of child pornography previously identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) were discovered on Enoch’s computer after a routine CyberCrime investigation. A search warrant was executed at Enoch's Lake Panasoffkee residence and investigators seized an X-box, two computers, an external hard-drive and numerous CDs, all of which will undergo forensic analysis to locate any additional images. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the execution of the search warrant and the arrest.

Enoch was booked into the Sumter County Jail and will be charged with six counts of possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony. The agencies participating in the investigation and arrest are members of the Attorney General's Tampa CyberCrime Task Force and the Central Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
