Kissimmee man arrested on multiple child pornography charges

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a 21-year-old Kissimmee man after receiving a series of tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about the online sharing of child sexual abuse material.

Javier Colon-Soto was arrested Monday and charged with 23 counts of possession of photo or video of a sexual performance by a child and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device. He was booked into the Osceola County Jail with no bond.

Detectives with the Sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit said they received 18 separate CyberTips from NCMEC linking a local internet user to the distribution and solicitation of explicit material involving minors.

On Monday, investigators executed a search warrant at a residence in the Doral Pointe subdivision in Kissimmee. The suspect, identified as Colon-Soto, was taken into custody after detectives said they found evidence of child exploitation activity.

The Sheriff’s Office said the investigation remains active and encouraged anyone with information related to this case or similar incidents to contact the agency at 407-348-2222.
