Child Pornography Investigation That Began In Gloucester Township Results In Charges For Florida Man: Police

A Florida man has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and multiple counts of molestation of young boys he was a babysitter for following an investigation that began in Gloucester Township.

On Sept. 8, 2016, Gloucester Township Police learned that a 13-year-old boy was receiving sexually explicit images from an unknown man via Facebook, Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Gloucester Township Police Chief Harry Earle said on Wednesday.

Detectives from the police department subpoenaed the adult’s Facebook account and contacted the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crimes Unit, which then identified the man’s physical address using his IP address, police said.

The investigation was then turned over to the High Tech Crimes Task Force Officer, Special Agent (SA) Kimberlee Gautier, Homeland Security Investigation – Cherry Hill.

Once Gautier was able to identify the man as 20-year-old Andrew Antonio Davila, of Ocala, Florida, the information was passed on to Homeland Security Investigations – Orlando, Florida.

Investigators with that department then met with Davilla, who they claim was in possession of several pornographic images of children on his computer.

During questioning at his home by Special Agents, Davila confessed to ownership of the pornographic images of children, police said.

He also admitted that he sexually molested and took pictures of several children he was a babysitter for. All of the victims were boys under the age of 12, police said.

Davila was taken into custody by detectives from Homeland Security Investigations – Orlando without incident and charged with four counts of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child under 12 years of age. He was remanded to the Marion County, Florida Jail without bail.
