Naples photographer faces felony child porn charges

Published: Updated:

NAPLES, Fla. — A Naples photographer is facing more than a dozen felony child pornography charges after his arrest Friday following a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office said.

David Ross Zipprich, 34, is in custody on $100,000 bond after FDLE detectives traced multiple files related to child porn on the Gnutella peer-to-peer network back to a computer they found in Zipprich’s home on the 1200 block of Jeronimo Drive, according to the sheriff’s office. Several children live in homes near his apartment.

Zipprich, who operates an eponymous photography business out of his home via Facebook, faces 10 counts of possession and five counts of distribution. Authorities seized his computer, and additional charges may come following an examination of the device, the sheriff’s office said.
