Miami Man Charged with Possession of Child Pornography: Police

A Miami man is facing child pornography charges after investigators found dozens of files depicting child porn uploaded to his Dropbox account.

Claudio Torres, 26, was arrested Tuesday after police traced the images back to his laptop computer. Some of the children depicted in the images were believed to be as young three to six years old, police said.

Torres has been charged with 30 counts of possession of child pornography.

His attorney was able to successfully lower his bond from $5,000 per count to $1,000 for counts one through 15, and $500 for counts 16 through 30.

Torres's parents, who were present in court, agreed to post bond on his behalf.

Torres's attorney argued that he has resided in Miami-Dade for 24 years where he currently works as an EMT technician and is a U.S. citizen with no prior run-in's with the law.

The judge ordered that Torres may not conduct any internet searches on children.
