SEMINOLE, FL — A 34-year-old Seminole man has been charged with 20 counts of possessing child pornography following a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, detectives began to investigate Arthur Baker of the 14300 block of 84th Terrace after being told that he was uploading child exploitation material from a social media app.

Detectives obtained a search warrant on April 22 and collected several computer-related devices from his home. When they examined the devices, detectives said they found multiple videos of child pornography and an online conversation in which he discussed the ages he preferred in the pornography.

Baker was arrested Wednesday when he turned himself in at the Pinellas County Jail.
