A Seminole man has been arrested on 20 charges of child pornography possession.
Christopher Allan Meixner, 43, had multiple images of child pornography in his possession, according to a news release from the Florida Attorney General's Office.
The images were found during a routine investigation and were traced back to Meixner's computer. A desktop computer, a laptop and a cell phone were seized after his home was searched. An initial review of his computers revealed multiple images of child pornography, including some of children as young as 3 years old, the news release stated.
Meixner was booked into the Pinellas County Jail Monday and was being held in lieu of $400,000 bail.
Court records show Meixner was charged in 1994 with committing a lewd act in the presence of a child under the age of 16. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of indecent exposure and was given a year of probation.
