Child porn arrest made after early morning search of Green Cove Springs home

Jacksonville, FL — It's a story WOKV has been following since early Friday morning.

Now, we've learned after a search of a Green Cove Springs home, a 19-year-old man has been arrested for transmission of child pornography.

According to the arrest report from the Clay County Sheriff's Office, an online investigation was launched back on June 9, focusing on a certain device associated with a torrent, tied to child pornography.

The report claims Cameron Rushing had files of known child pornography in a public folder for other users to download from.

During the course of their investigation, the sheriff's office says they were able to download 70 files from that public folder, from June 9 through June 17.

The report goes on to say investigators noticed the IP address, that they later tied to Rushing, made a partial download of a file, which prompted them to serve Comcast with a subpoena for subscriber information.

Then today, August 18, during the on-site search of Rushing's home, investigators say they found multiple file names on his computer, consistent with child porn.

Rushing now faces two transmission of child porn charges, both of which are felonies.
