A man was apprehended on more than 100 charges in Hillsborough County.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office investigated and discovered unsettling data on electronic devices at a Gibsonton residence.
According to law enforcement, the inquiry focused on the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a cyber alert from a social media platform about a suspected CSAM file uploaded by an account. Detectives examined the tip and identified the suspect.
Local detectives executed a search warrant at a residence in the 7600 block of Dragon Fly Loop in Gibsonton. During the inquiry, investigators found more than 100 CSAM files on electronic devices.
Jalil Butler, 28, was arrested and charged with solicitation or possession of child sexual abuse material (10 or more images and content of images) (x100), in-state transmission of child sexual abuse material by electronic device, unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and tampering with physical evidence.
“It’s appalling that people think exploiting children is acceptable,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Not in Hillsborough county. Our committed personnel will track down these perpetrators and put them behind prison.”
