Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies have arrested four men after an investigation into child pornography.
Detectives and members of the state attorney's Cyber Task Force arrested the four this week. Three of the four are accused of having videos that show children between the ages of 1-12 being sexually exploited by adults, the sheriff's office said.
The four were arrested at their homes and their computers were seized. Detectives say there may be additional charges.
Arrested were:
Gregory C. Brown, 60, of 711 Valley Hill Drive, Brandon, charged with 1,500 counts of possession of child pornography; Kevin Meere, 24, of 4012 Eastridge Drive, Valrico, charged with 14 counts of possession of child pornography, and Patrick Melton, 16, of 12004 Riverhills Drive, Tampa, charged with 14 counts of child pornography.
Also arrested was Michael Head, 28, of 8504 Symmes Road No. 2, Gibsonton, charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and lewd and lascivious molestation.
Head's lewd and lascivious charge stems from a case in December which was filed directly to State Attorney's Office. Prosecutors say Head touched an 8-year-old boy in a lewd manner.
