Kiddie Porn Charges For Children's Place Employee

PINELLAS PARK, FL — A 24-year-old Pinellas Park man faces 10 counts of possession of child pornography after sheriff’s deputies say they uncovered the evidence on his computer.

An investigation into the alleged actions of Reneir T. Atillo of 4667 69th Place N. began in July 2015 after detectives received information the man might be in possession of child pornography. Detectives say they were able to recover 10 images depicting child pornography from Atillo’s computer, an email from the sheriff’s office to media sent Monday stated.

“Detectives received information that Atillo is employed at the Children's Place in Tyrone Mall,” the email said. "Efforts to determine if Atillio has any live victims related to his employment are ongoing.”

Atillo was arrested on Friday at his Pinellas Park home. He remained in the Pinellas County Jail on Monday, records indicate.

The Children’s Place is a retailer that specializes in clothing for toddlers and small children. Tyrone Square is located at 6901 22nd Ave. N. in St. Petersburg.

No further details about the case against Atillo are being released at this time.
