In Leesburg, Florida, a man was placed under arrest at a city library. Police say that 42 year old Kevin Baker had used a laptop and free WiFi to download child pornography.
Baker told police that he was homeless when they questioned him. Now, he is facing 150 counts of possessing child pornography after detectives looked at his laptop and found illicit images of children.
Officers say that Baker admitted to using the library's free wireless to collect images through Limewire, a file sharing network. One of the files was a video of a young girl engages in sex acts.
According to Sgt. James Vachon, police discovered Baker's illegal activities while they were in the midst of another investigation. After being confronted by police, Baker voluntarily surrendered his computer. Police then obtained a search warrant and conducted a forensic investigation.
Baker's bond amount has been set at $1.5 million ($10,000 per felony count).
