Tampa, Florida - In a criminal complaint filed December 3rd to the United States District Court, Hillsborough County teacher Aaron Brian Sands, 41, told federal authorities, "I don't know what the (_expletive_) my problem is. I don't know what is wrong with me."
The feds executed a search warrant at Sands' home in Brandon on Wednesday where they say they found 36 child pornography images, "many of which depict prepubescent children engaged in various sex acts with adult males."
Authorities say at least one image shows a 9-year-old girl about to engage in a sexual act with a dog.

In the complaint, the authorities say, Sands admitted to possessing the child pornography on his laptop computer in his home. They say he said his wife, who lives with him at their home in Brandon, was unaware of the images.
Next door neighbor Kevin Zimmock told 10 Connects the couple seemed nice and is shocked by the allegations. "That's just wrong," Zimmock said. "Somebody in that position should not be in the position of teaching kids."
The Hillsborough County School District says Sands had been a math teacher for the International Baccalaureate program at King High School in Tampa since 2006.
The District says as soon as it found out about the allegations, it sent a letter immediately suspending the teacher. On Friday morning, the District says before Sands even received the letter, he resigned.
King High School's principal sent a letter home to parents, alerting them of Sands' resignation as well as assuring them their children are safe.
"There is no reason to believe this had anything to do with any of our students," said Steve Hegarty of the Hillsborough County School District.
