A Southeast Arcadia man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after DeSoto County detectives say he was found in possession of child pornography.

According to the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office, Carlos Mauricio Pereira Rubio, 23, was arrested after a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led to an investigation. Upon his arrest, Carlos was found to have two counterfeit ID cards and a counterfeit social security card with a real SSN.

Carlos faces three counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of unlawful possession/use of driver’s license or ID card, and one count of unlawful possession of personal identification information of another person.
