A Weston man was charged with production and possession of child pornography, officials said Thursday.
Federal investigators found that Thomas Edler, 48, had numerous images of children under the age of 12 in sexually suggestive poses, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a news release.
Officials said the images where taken with a camera belonging to Edler.
Agents with ICE and the Broward Sheriff's Office obtained a warrant to search Edler's home after determining images in what investigators call the "Dave" series were taken at his house, the release said.
