SEBRING, Fla. — A Sebring man is facing more than 300 counts of child pornography after his house was raided by the Highlands County sheriff's Special Victims Unit.
Alan Dale Sewell, 56, was arrested Tuesday.
The sheriff's office said it received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a file containing child porn had been uploaded at Sewell's home, so a search warrant was obtained.
At the home, deputies said they found a laptop with five child porn videos. Further examination showed there were more than 600 child porn videos and photos on the computer, deputies said.
Sewell could face more charges, but the 305 he already faces is enough for him to face life in prison, the sheriff's office said.
He is being held without bail at the Highlands County Jail.
