Utah Man Charged With Nearly 2 Dozen Counts of Child Porn, Child Exploitation

A Utah man was arrested after an investigation uncovered hundred of images and videos of child pornography.

An affidavit filed with the arrest of 43-year-old Justin McKay Anthony says that the investigation began in early May when the National Center for Missing Exploited Children submitted a referral about an upload of a “child exploitation video,” KSL reported.

Investigators ultimately traced the material to Anthony, and a search warrant executed on June 5 uncovered more than 600 files of pornographic material, including 64 containing child sexual abuse, 225 of various genres including bestiality, and 295 files of productions filmed by Anthony.

He was arrested on July 25 and reportedly admitted to sending, receiving, and downloading child sexual abuse material.

“They’re all over, I’m sure you’ve seen them before,” he told investigators, according to the document.

Anthony has been charged with three counts of first degree sexual exploitation of a minor, 10 counts of second degree exploitation of a minor, and 10 counts of distribution of pornography.
