Thousands of Child Porn Images Found on Largo Man's Laptop

A Largo man was arrested and charged with child pornography after investigators discovered thousands of digital images of prepubescent girls on his laptop, according to Largo Police.

A "cyber-tip" from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children directed investigators to David Scott Stuart, 27, who was arrested and charged with 15 counts of child pornography by Largo Police on April 16.

Stuart admitted to intentionally downloading, viewing and possessing more than 100 and less than 1,000 child pornography images over the course of several months, according to investigators. There were 3,746 child pornography images and 9,322 child erotica images found on Stuart's laptop, according to police.

Stuart said the laptop was his and only in his possession, according to police. He also moved some of the images to an external hard drive at one time, according to investigators.

Stuart is in jail awaiting trial on $75,000 bond.
