The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Pedro Miyares, 40, in Richmond, Texas, last Wednesday on ten counts of possession of child sexual assault material charges.
Homeland Security Investigations assisted with the arrest.
The investigation began when FDLE Miami cybercrime squad agents received a tip through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that Miyares had uploaded 16 files depicting child sexual assault material to his cellular device.
