A Miami man who was purchasing a new phone was arrested after the store employee who was transferring data from the man's old phone allegedly found child pornography images.

Orlando Chang, 55, was arrested Monday on 11 counts of possession of sexual performance by a child, according to an arrest affidavit.

According to the affidavit, Chang went to the Metro PCS store at 262 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables to buy a new phone in June, and while he was there he asked an employee to transfer data from his old phone onto the new one.
