"In 2015, Gluvna admitted he downloaded child pornography images," Sarasota police said in announcing Gluvna's arrest on Thursday. "Gluvna is currently on supervised release in reference to the 2015 case and is not allowed access to the internet."

Gluvna of Calliandra Drive was charged with transmission of child pornography by an electronic device in the most recent case. He was arrested on Tuesday.

Sarasota detectives were notified by the Internet Crimes Against Children task force that Gluvna had allegedly been downloading child pornography again. A sear warrant was executed at Gluvna's home on Nov. 21.

"Computers, gaming consoles and SD cards were seized," Sarasota police said. Court documents noted that police discovered images and video of toddlers.

In July 2015, Gluvna was charged with 20 counts of transmission of child pornography by an electronic device.

Sarasota police said a search warrant was also executed against Gluvna in 2013 by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office but Gluvna was not charged at that time.

"After a forensic review of evidence seized, no child pornographic images were located and it was determined Gluvna is using a wiping software of devices," according to Sarasota police.

Gluvna was being held at the Sarasota County Jail as of Thursday.
