Jacksonville man arrested in federal investigation into thousands of child porn images

Florida Times-Union - 12/14/2018

Dec. 14--A 37-year-old Jacksonville man is in custody after thousands of images and videos depicting sexual abuse of children were found on a computer thumb drive confiscated by police, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Jason Ryan Fain faces a maximum 20 years in federal prison as well as a potential life term of supervised release, prosecutors said.

According to the federal complaint, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office responded Jan. 9 to a citizen complaint at a home where Fain lived and found a thumb drive believed to contain child pornography. A search of the thumb drive, which investigators believed belonged to Fain, revealed 3,614 images and seven videos of child pornography as well as "selfie"-type photos of him, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Fain was arrested Oct. 27 in Bay County and confirmed the thumb drive belonged to him, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
