A Lehigh Acres man is facing child pornography charges after a two-year investigation led detectives to a computer in his bedroom.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducted the investigation between November 2014 and October 2016. During that time investigators followed an IP address belonging to 62-year-old Gary Hall which showed a pattern of possessing child pornography.
Hall faces two counts of possession of child pornography, a third degree felony, after investigators discovered two explicit videos on a desktop computer in his bedroom.
A neighbor who lived across from Hall for three years told Fox 4 he never saw odd behavior at the home.
"I was so surprised yesterday when I woke up and saw all the cars over there,"said Daniel Ross.
It was even more surprising to him because his grandson would often play with a young girl who lived near hall. A little girl he says Hall would also play with.
"Sometimes he would come over there in the field there was a pink cart the little had, and he'd be playing with her," said Ross.
According to Hall's arrest report, the two videos obtained from his computer featured girl's whom appeared to be under the age of 16 performing sexual acts.
In one video, the victim appeared to be as young as 10 years old.
"A person with that does things like that to a child, or wants to be with a child, or that type of mind frame, they need help," said Ross.
FDLE says more charges could follow once a complete examination is done on Hall's computer and other electronic devices removed from the home.
