Brandon police arrested a man Tuesday after receiving a report that someone in the city had uploaded child pornography to Dropbox in March.
Police received a Cybertip report from the Online Child Exploitation and Abuse Network (OCEAN) database that a Dropbox user with an IP address registered in Brandon had uploaded a video file that contained child sexual abuse material, police said in a news release Wednesday.
Police identified the suspect as a 20-year-old man who lived on Maryland Avenue, the release said.
Officers executed a search warrant at the residence on Tuesday and seized his electronic devices for forensic analysis.
The man was arrested and charged with accessing child pornography and possessing child pornography.
He was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court in November.
