Lutz Man Arrested After Hillsborough Sheriff's Office Discovers Over 1,000 CSAM Files

A Lutz man was arrested on September 14 after the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) discovered more than 1,000 Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) files. Detectives served a court-authorized search warrant, leading to the arrest.

The HCSO, led by Sheriff Chad Chronister, actively works to combat such crimes. The agency's mission is to serve, protect, and defend the community while preserving the rights and dignity of all residents. HCSO collaborates with the community to enhance safety across Hillsborough County.

This arrest follows other recent law enforcement actions in the region. On September 15, another CSAM investigation resulted in an armed standoff and arrest in Plant City. Also on September 15, authorities charged Ahmad Webb, 16, with manslaughter in connection with the death of Jaden Law, 15.

Residents can report suspicious activity or information related to child exploitation directly to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Ongoing efforts by the HCSO aim to make Hillsborough County a safer place for everyone.
