LAKE CITY, Fla. – Agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) have arrested Craig Allen Kennington, 57, of Lake City, today on five counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, according to a press release issued by the FDLE.

The investigation began when agents discovered files containing child sexual abuse material being shared using peer-to-peer software from a computer in Columbia County, the FDLE said.

With the assistance of the Lake City Police Department, agents executed a search warrant at Kennington’s residence on April 19, seizing his laptop computer.

The FDLE said its on-scene forensic preview of the device revealed videos featuring children as young as one-year-old being sexually abused.

Additional charges are possible pending further forensic analysis of the laptop.

Kennington was arrested and booked into the Columbia County Jail on a no-bond status pending first appearance.

The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 3rd Judicial Circuit.
