A Port Orange man was arrested on Tuesday, August 20th, for possessing child pornography and is in custody at the Volusia County jail. 79-year-old Edward Harvey was charged with 12 counts of sexual performance by a child.
Port Orange detectives were alerted back in April after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Detectives’ investigation showed Harvey had exchanged multiple images containing child pornography over the internet. Detectives from the department’s Special Investigations Unit executed a search warrant at Harvey’s home, and seized several items for forensic analysis.
Harvey is currently in custody without a bond. The Port Orange Police Department is notifying the public of this case and asking anyone who may have information to contact the tip line at (386)506-5892.
