PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — On Dec. 16, law enforcement entered an apartment at 191 Date Street with a search warrant and found 39-year-old Brendon Boule had over 400 images and more than 40 videos of child pornography on a cell phone.
From Aug. 4 to Nov. 2, numerous cyber-tips were reported to the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children regarding child pornography files being uploaded using a web-based chat platform called “FreeChatNow.” Investigators determined the activity was coming from Boule’s apartment.
“Our partnership with the Fort Myers FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force plays a crucial role in the protection of our children. Each and every case is investigated exhaustively, with the end goal of getting predators off the street and behind bars where they belong,” states Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell.
Boule was arrested and is facing charges of possession of child pornography, transmission of child pornography, and violation of probation stemming from a 2002 arrest also for crimes against children.
Boule is being held with no bond.
