TEMPLE TERRACE - Police on Friday charged 65-year-old Eugene Gary Conklin with 804 counts of possession of child pornography, said Temple Terrace police spokesman Mike Dunn.
On Jan. 12, Conklin’s wife contacted police and said she’d seen him downloading what she believed to be child pornography from the Internet, Dunn said.
Later that day, police seized the home’s computers. The forensics analysis was completed on Friday, with investigators finding 804 illegal images, Dunn said.
Conklin was arrested at his home at 11850 Sophia Dr., No. 5302, and remained in Orient Road Jail late Friday with bail set at $1.6 million.
Good for his wife!!! Husband or not....I’d do the same thing. Now instead of looking at children he will have to look at a bunch of hairy, rough men behind bars,lets see him get off on that! Sick old perv!

Too many family members protect those they love - but sometimes it’s warranted to to do something to stop these child predators / pornographers.
I don’t care who it is, we need to turn in each and every one involved in these sick and digusting violations against children.
