Investigations into the suspects started when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified detectives that child pornography was being passed around over the internet by the individuals.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press release that the images and videos found during the investigation were "horrific," vowing to protect children from anyone who possesses, trades or distributes child pornography.
"These men are part of a worldwide underground child pornography distribution market – the demand for this vile material harms children and ruins lives," Grady said. "I appreciate the hard work our detectives did that was necessary to file these charges. Working to keep our children safe is the most important thing we do."
