Spring Man Arrested After He's Caught With Child Porn: Police

THE WOODLANDS, TX — A 71-year-old man was arrested after he was caught looking at child pornography on his laptop at an area Starbucks, officials said.

Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies arrested Lloyd Morgans and charged him with four counts of possession of child pornography.

Deputies were called just before 11 a.m. on Jan. 30 to the Starbucks at 1950 Hughes Landing Boulevard in The Woodlands, in reference to a suspicious person.

While deputies were on their way, they learned that several customers had seen the man, identified as Morgans, looking at pornographic photos and videos on his laptop, and those images had children, police said.

Deputies spoke with several witnesses who described the videos in great detail and identified Morgans to deputies, officials said.

When deputies approached Morgans and confronted him about the images, he closed his computer and denied claims that he was looking at child pornography, according to police.

Detectives from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Montgomery County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force were called to the Starbucks to assist with the investigation.

Detectives interviewed Morgans, who confessed to having and viewing multiple pornographic photos and videos involving children, according to police.

Detectives later obtained a search warrant for Morgans computer and discovered hundreds of pornographic photos and videos involving children.

Each of the charges is a third degree felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted.

Morgans has a total bail amount of $120,000.
