MIAMI (AP) - A South Florida man is facing 144 counts of child pornography possession and authorities say more charges are likely.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement identified the suspect Friday as 44-year-old Orville H. Bullitt of Davie. Agents say Bullitt was arrested earlier this week at his mother's home in Osceola County.
Authorities say Bullitt has been targeted in a lengthy investigation by an FDLE cybercrime unit. Agents told the South Florida Sun Sentinel they were able to trace images on a file-sharing network to Bullitt's home computer.
Records show Bullitt has been arrested twice before on sex-related charges, resulting in one conviction and one case in which charges were dropped.
Bullitt was jailed in Osceola County on $1.4 million bail. It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer Friday.
