Bond Hearing Reset For Child Porn Suspect
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A Broward judge has re-set a bond hearing to Thursday for a man charged with more than one hundred counts of possession of child pornography.
During the hearing for 44-year old Orville Bullitt, his attorney asked that the hear be re-set because the state is asking that the arrest officer attend the hearing.
Bullitt, who was arrested earlier this month in Osceola County, has been charged with 144 counts of possession of child porn. A judge set bond at $1.44 million or ten thousand dollars for each count.
According to the FDLE, Bullitt became a child porn suspect during an undercover investigation by FDLE's Cyber High Tech Crime Squad. Agents involved in the investigation were able to trace images that had been shared online back to Bullitt's home computer.
"The images found showed child victims in various sexual depictions," said Addy Villanueva of the FDLE.
Bullitt has lived in Miami Shores, North Miami, Davie and Pembroke Pines.
When FDLE agents searched his home on the 7000 block of NW 12th Street in Pembroke Pines and found a total of 144 images of child pornography. Agents immediately became concerned there may be other victims who have had contact with Bullitt.
"We found other images that are unrelated to the 144 images that he's currently charged with," said Will Hernandez of the FDLE. "And in those are leading use to believe there are other victims here. Possibly in here in South Florida. Our experience has shown that people who typically own child pornography tend to be hands on offenders."
FDLE said if you had any information on any possible victims of Bullitt, contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
