WILTON MANORS—A 27-year-old Wilton Manors man was arrested on Wednesday evening after Fort Lauderdale police found 20 images of child pornography on his laptop computer.
Sean Grealy was arrested on 10 counts of possession of child pornography, as well as one count each for distribution or transmission of child pornography, compiling or collecting computer child pornography, and promoting the sexual performance of a child.
The local police had been brought into the investigation after being alerted by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who had gathered undercover intelligence that someone was using internet connections in Fort Lauderdale to transmit child porn.
Search warrants were issued for both Grealy’s cellphone and email accounts.
Upon searching his files, more than 20 images of child pornography were found including a three year old child involved in sexual acts with men.
According to his Facebook account, Grealy worked at Java Boys coffee house in Wilton Manors as well as as a barrista at Barnes and Noble in Fort Lauderdale.
Police said additional charges may be forthcoming pending the outcome of forensic examinations of Grealy’s phone and computer.
