Leesburg man has been arrested on 29 child porn-related counts, after investigators discovered he was attempting to distribute the material, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
James B. Kersey, 39, was arrested Thursday on 16 counts of possession of child pornography; two counts of transmission of pornography, prohibited; and 11 counts of attempted transmission of pornography, prohibited.
He is held on $10,000 bond for each of the 29 counts.
A search warrant was served at Kersey's Leesburg residence on Thursday.
During the search, Kersey "admitted that he intentionally downloaded numerous movie files of child pornography via his computer to DVDs with the intent to mail them to a person out of state," according to his arrest affidavit.
Kersey told deputies he used the search term "pthc" -- or pre-teen hardcore -- to find movies with images of children.
Investigators were able to download some of the porn. Kersey also admitted knowing that he had child pornography files available for others to download
Investigators found at least six movie files on the computer and at least 11 movie files on the DVDs containing child porn.
"All of the movies show young female children clearly under the age of 18 based on their lack of physical development," the affidavit states.
