Orange County man faces 40 felony charges in connection to child pornography

ORLANDO, Fl. — An Orange County man is facing 40 felony charges after officials said he possessed dozens of images of child pornography on his cell phone.

Investigators said 30-year-old Randall Green even tried to destroy some of the evidence by breaking one phone into pieces.

An investigation into the behavior of Green began in 2017 when a woman checked his phone and told police she found screenshots of girls ranging from 5 to 12-years-old. The pictures were hidden in a secret app.

The woman said she also found three videos of Green with a girl who she believed to be as young as 2-years-old.

Investigators said they found multiple images of what appeared to be minors engaging in sexual conduct on two cell phones and a tablet in Green's bedroom drawer.

A warrant was later issued for Green's arrest, resulting in his appearance on Friday.
