TAMPA - In March, a cruise ship passenger disembarked at the Port of Tampa and into the custody of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Clay W. Long, 45, of Ponte Verde Beach in St. Johns County, was charged with one count of possession of child pornography after photos of nude children were found on his laptop computer, officials said.
On Friday, he was in a St. Johns County Jail charged with 370 counts after being picked up on a warrant issued May 23 after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement finished a forensic analysis of Long’s laptop. Investigators found hundreds more such pictures, Hillsborough sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
Long was initially arrested March 18 and soon released after posting $2,000 bail. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office arrested him again Friday at his home.
He was in custody late Friday with bail set at $925,000.
Here’s a novel idea...how about we fine the enabling internet providers...heavily. They are accessories to the crime and they certainly bank many dollars from these slime ball predators and the traffic they create. No way are you going to get their attention to this area unless you hit them the only place it hurts...in their pockets. I think it would amaze people how quickly a internet provider will begin to filter their content if they have to fork over thousands plus dollars for every website that supports this disgusting trade. Money talks..
I completely agree with you there Bob Martin. But We cannot just stop at forcing the ISP to delete these groups. They should be required to give state authorities the information of the individual(s) who create these groups as well. We cannot stop this epidemic unelss we get really tough on them.

Regarding this type of porn, the United States of America is blocking the .XXX domain. Why? It would make sense to put all Internet pornography in one place so that there would be one-way in, and one-way out to view. This would enable the authorities to monitor and control the pornography on the Internet. Complaining about this problem is not going to solve it. Please write your representative and urge the U. S. to stop fighting the .XXX domain creation.
