A Cottondale man was charged with the possession of graphic videos including children and lewd acts with animals.
James Patrick Boutwell, Jr., 22, faces seven counts of possession of child pornography, possession of videos containing sexual activity involving animals, and unlawful use of a communication device.
Jackson County Sheriffs in Florida said they received a tip that he uploaded child pornography to a smartphone app.
Investigation revealed him to possess two videos and five photos of child pornography, along with four videos of adult women performing sexual acts with animals.
He was taken into custody Monday and reportedly admitted to uploading the videos and images.
His bond is set at $60,000.
This investigation is still ongoing, and more charges are forthcoming.
“The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office will absolutely not tolerate possessing, viewing, or sharing child pornography,” Sheriff Edenfield said. “If you are found to be in possession of child pornography, you will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
