LUTZ, Fla. – Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agents arrested Andrew James Anderson, 50, and Patricia Michelle Burnopp, 49, both of Lutz, on Wednesday.
Each faces one count of possession of child sexual abuse material, 10 or more images, a second-degree felony.
Investigators identified a computer offering approximately 2,000 video and image files depicting child sexual abuse material for download.
Agents traced the computer’s IP address to the residence Anderson and Burnopp shared. Investigators executed a search warrant at the residence yesterday and identified the computer from which the suspects were offering the child sexual abuse material.
