Registered sex offender arrested on 14 counts of child pornography

 

ORLANDO, Fla. – Agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Orlando Cybercrime Task Force today arrested Wesley Kenneth McVay, 40, of 1629 Larkin Ave., Orlando, on 14 counts of child pornography.

McVay previously had been convicted of sexual offense and is registered as a sex offender. He was also convicted on federal firearms charges in 2009.

During an undercover investigation, agents learned that software from a specific IP address was being used to download suspected child pornography. The IP address was linked to the Larkin Avenue address. After obtaining a search warrant, agents went to McVay’s home and conducted an on-scene forensic examination. They found evidence of child pornography on digital devices, which were seized for additional forensic analysis.

McVay was taken to the Orange County Jail with a no-bond status. The case will be prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office, Middle District of Florida.
