According to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office, the agency received multiple cyber tips from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children regarding an individual who had uploaded videos online showing children being sexually abused.

Deputies said they investigated the tips, which led them to the home of Joel Nunez on Tuesday.

Authorities said Nunez agreed to speak with detectives and provided written consent for them to search his desktop computer.

According to the report, immediately after entering the passcode for the computer, a website popped up showing apparent child pornography.

Detectives said Nunez also had 856 child porn images saved in a folder on his computer, and another 511 child porn images in another folder.

All of the victims described in the arrest report were girls, some of who appeared to be under the age of 1.

According to the report, Nunez provided detectives with a “full confession.”

He was arrested on 15 counts of possession of sexual performance by a child.

As of Wednesday, he was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $16,500 bond.
