VOLUSIA COUNTY, FL – An Ormond Beach man was arrested on 23 charges of possessing child pornography after a tip led sheriff’s detectives to locate several sexually explicit photos on his computer.
According to authorities, Raymond L. Brown, 61 was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for 23 counts of possessing sexual performance by a child. He remains held at the Volusia County Branch Jail on $460,000 bail pending a first court appearance.
