Randal Stevens, 53, of Long Beach, was arrested Monday on suspicion of possession of child sexual abuse material. His arrest comes after Long Beach police say they were tipped off in July of last year by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that there may be someone in the city in possession of child sexual abuse material.

Investigators identified Stevens as a possible suspect, and eventually served search warrants at his home in the 4200 block of East 4th Street, where police say they collected multiple pieces of evidence.

Police say Stevens, who previously worked as a contracted audio and visual technician with the Huntington Beach Union High School District, may have more victims. Anyone with information about Stevens can contact Long Beach police's Computer Crimes Detail at (562) 570-7223.
