"As you know, this is just the beginning -- once we serve search warrants and seize the devices that these suspects are using to download and distribute pornography, we will do a complete forensic analysis, and in all likelihood we will be adding on more charges related to the felony possession and distribution of images and videos of children being sexually battered. Most of the images we saw during this investigation depicted children being sexually battered, that we have seen before -- which means we haven't yet identified any local child victims, but as always, that is also a part of our investigation,” said Sheriff Grady Judd.
