Cape Coral man faces 41 child porn charges

Published: Updated:

ARCADIA, Fla. – A 44-year-old man is in a Desoto County jail and facing 41 counts for the possession of child porn.

Sean Patrick Odea of Cape Coral is accused by his girlfriend’s ex-husband of having sexual relations with a female child. Both Odea and his girlfriend denied allegations when speaking to deputies in January 2015. The ex-husband’s claims were reported to the Department of Children and Families, which also launched an investigation last year, according to an incident report.

Odea’s ex-wife also told authorities that Odea may have child pornography, according to the incident report.

Odea voluntarily turned over his two computers and passwords to deputies several days after his ex-wife’s allegations in 2015, according to an incident report. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement analyzed Odea’s computers then turned them over to Arcadia police for review on May 4, authorities said. An officer discovered 41 different images depicting child pornography on those computers, according to Arcadia police. Some of the images showed infants less than one month old, reports show.

Odea’s next court date is scheduled for June 13.
