CAPE CORAL, Fla — Cape Coral Police arrested Michael Neuman and charged him with 10 counts of possessing child pornography.

The department said "the material was excessively graphic, depicting infants and toddlers."

Police say the department's Special Victim's Unit began investigating the case back in June, based off of a CyberTip that came into the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

"Excessively graphic": Cape Coral man charged with having child pornography

The tipster said someone was uploading child pornography.

"A lot of times it's not just viewing the material you can also find that if they're not already doing it they act on it, so just getting this guy off the streets, said Cape Coral Public Information Officer Mercedes Simonds. "It goes beyond sexually deviant behavior it's just disgusting."

Police say they found several different examples of the material, and were able to track down the person who uploaded it, who they believe is Neuman.

They say Neuman had more than 10 videos and numerous photographs of child pornography.

He was arrested Wednesday and taken to the Lee County Jail.

According to the Lee County Jail roster, Neuman paid his bond and was released on Nov. 7.
