Dropbox Busts Nashville Man For Child Porn: Police

NASHVILLE, TN -- A popular online file-storage service triggered an investigation ending with the arrest of a 20-year-old Nashville man on child porn charges.

According to an affidavit, in October, cloud-storage provider Dropbox discovered hundreds of explicit images and videos of children on the account of Carlos Carillo of Chickasaw Avenue near Trinity Lane. The company alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which then provided information to the Metro Nashville Police.

An MNPD investigator executed a search warrant on Carillo's accounts and reportedly found the explicit content stored in folders marked with "kid teens" and "girls young."

Carillo's home was raided Tuesday and police said he confessed to viewing, receiving and trading images using Dropbox and social media over the last year. He is being held on a $20,000 bond.
