CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. -- A Punta Gorda man is facing six charges of Possession of Child Pornography after detectives traced a file sharing service to his home.

Investigators arrested 33-year-old Alexander Keim Thursday.

According to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, in March 2019, investigators observed 97 files of child pornography being shared online from an IP address at a home on Pasto Drive in Punta Gorda.

A search warrant was issued and agents raided the home, owned by Keim's parents, on Thursday. Inside they found a laptop owned by the parents that had no suspicious activity on it. They also confiscated a laptop owned by Alexander Keim containing several files of child pornography and file sharing software.

Alexander Keim was arrested and taken to Charlotte County Jail, where he is being held on $30,000 bond.
