A La Porte man is facing additional felony charges after investigators say evidence recovered from his cell phone uncovered child sexual abuse material and led to the identification of two alleged victims.

According to the La Porte Police Department, investigators with the department's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit executed a search warrant in March as part of an investigation into the suspected downloading of child sexual abuse material. During a forensic examination of the suspect's cell phone, investigators say they found hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse involving children under the age of 10.

Police said the investigation later revealed videos allegedly recorded by the suspect involving the sexual abuse of two young girls. The 32-year-old suspect, who had previously been arrested on possession of child pornography charges, was arrested again on June 22 and charged with two counts of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child.

The investigation was conducted in partnership with the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Federal Task Force. The charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
