Deputies say his arrest followed a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which alerts local law enforcement to reports of exploitation and child pornographic material that has been shared online.
The tip led detectives to execute a search warrant at Brown’s home, 1701 Valencia Ave., Ormond Beach.
Detectives seized cell phones, laptop computers, and a camera for forensic examination. During their investigation, they located multiple color photos of sexual exploitation of girls estimated to range from 4-12 years old.
