FL School Employee Found With Hundreds Of Child Porn, Bestiality Videos, Deputies Say

RIVERVIEW, FL — A campus safety monitor at Spoto High School was arrested Monday on hundreds of child porn and bestiality charges, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Tyree McKinley Fields, 25, was charged with 100 counts of possession of child pornography (10 or more images); 100 counts of filming, distributing, or possessing images or video of sexual activity with an animal; two counts of in-state transmission of child pornography; three counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device; obstruction of service or execution of a search warrant; and resisting arrest without violence.

Detectives began investigating Fields after receiving a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in August.

The tip traced uploaded child sexual abuse videos to an online account that was later linked to him, the sheriff’s office said.

After investigators got search warrants for Field’s online accounts and home, they found hundreds of graphic files involving the sexual abuse of infants and young children, as well as videos depicting sexual acts with animals, HCSO said.

He was arrested at his home and booked into Falkenburg Road Jail, where he remains in custody.

“There are few crimes more horrifying than those that exploit the innocent,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “This individual’s actions are beyond comprehension — the abuse of children and animals is pure evil. Thanks to the dedication of our detectives this man is behind bars. We will never tolerate those who target the most vulnerable, and we will continue to pursue them relentlessly.”
