RIVERVIEW, Fla. – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) has arrested a former campus safety monitor from Spoto High School in Riverview following an extensive investigation into child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and bestiality.
The investigation began in August 2025 after detectives received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The tip traced the upload of child sexual abuse videos to an online account later linked to Tyree McKinley Fields, 25.
At the time of the alleged crimes, Fields was employed as a campus safety monitor at Spoto High School.
Investigators obtained search warrants for Fields’ digital accounts and residence. During the searches, detectives uncovered hundreds of graphic files, including videos and images involving the sexual abuse of infants and young children, as well as videos depicting sexual acts with animals.
Fields was arrested at his residence on November 3, 2025, without incident. He was subsequently transported to the Falkenburg Road Jail, where he remains in custody.
Fields faces numerous felony charges, including:
- Possession of Child Pornography (10 or More Images) (x100)
- Film, Distribute, Or Possess Image or Video of Sexual Activity with an Animal (x100)
- In State Transmission of Child Pornography (x2)
- Unlawful Use of a Two-Way Communication Device (x3)
- Obstruction of Service or Execution of a Search Warrant
- Resist without Violence
Sheriff Chad Chronister condemned the alleged actions in a statement following the arrest.
“There are few crimes more horrifying than those that exploit the innocent,” said Sheriff Chronister. “This individual’s actions are beyond comprehension — the abuse of children and animals is pure evil. Thanks to the dedication of our detectives this man is behind bars. We will never tolerate those who target the most vulnerable, and we will continue to pursue them relentlessly.”
