One man was arrested Friday in a child porn bust on Pecan Street in Oviedo (see map). Investigators aren't saying much about the arrest, which is not unusual with federal cases.

The man arrested, identified Friday afternoon as 39-year-old Samuel Warlick, didn't say anything as he was escorted to a waiting unmarked cruiser and hauled off for questioning (images | Watch Raw Video). WFTV confirmed the Innocent Images National Taskforce raided the man's home on Pecan Street in Oviedo on Friday morning.

The group, made up of local and federal agents, works online undercover to stop those who prey children.

WFTV also confirmed the agents executed a federal search warrant for child porn at 7:00am. Four hours later, they brought out two computers and bags of CDs.

Once the scene was cleared, WFTV knocked on his door but got no answer. Neighbors told WFTV Warlick lives with two other people and keeps to himself. The only time they'd see him was at night when he'd walk his German shepherd.

"You know, you have instincts and I had a bad feeling about ever since I started seeing him walking around," neighbor Jim Bowden said.

Several families with small children live near the home. WFTV noticed toys and basketball nets in many driveways.

"It's really scary. I see kids playing outside all the time with their parents. It's really scary," neighbor Ashley Frye said.

In addition to the recent arrest, a report from the U.S. Presbyterian Church shows that Warlick allegedly sexually abused children. The report put together by the church's independent abuse review panel says in the 1980's when Warlick was at least 16, he fondled two younger children while he was living in a Methodist-Presbyterian hostel in Congo.

There were other occasions over a two year period where Warlick would allegedly engage in sexual conversations with children at the hostel. In one instance, Warlick even identified himself as a pedophile.

The report also identified other places where Warlick participated in activities or worked after he left the hostel. Out of the 8 locations, 3 are in Orange County: The Winter Park Presbyterian Church, a local Boy Scout troop, and the Park Lake Presbyterian Church near Colonial Drive.
