A Pinellas County man has been arrested and charged with 12 counts of possession of child pornography. 

Randy Lee Rosenberry, 53, was charged and then released from the Pinellas County Jail on a $60,000 bond. 

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, the investigation into Rosenberry's activity began in June.  

Through its investigation, the sheriff's office said it learned Rosenberry was sharing and downloading child pornography videos on the Internet.

A warrant was issued and authorities searched his home on Sept. 11. During the search, deputies said Rosenberry admitted to the allegations and was subsequently arrested. 

Additional downloads on Rosenberry's computer were found, which authorities said could lead to more charges. 

Due to the nature of the crime, Rosenberry's address is exempt from public record.
