Orlando Man Faces 117 Charges After Child Sexual Abuse Material Investigation, Police Say

ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando man faces more than 100 criminal charges after police said employees at an electronics store discovered suspected child sexual abuse material on a computer brought in for service.

The Orlando Police Department arrested John Raymond Dombroski on Aug. 25 following an investigation that lasted more than a month.

According to police, officers were called to an electronics store in July after employees conducting diagnostic work on a customer’s desktop computer discovered files they believed contained child sexual abuse material, commonly referred to as CSAM.

The employees contacted law enforcement.

Investigators subsequently obtained multiple search warrants and investigative subpoenas, according to OPD. Police said the investigation ultimately uncovered hundreds of files.

Authorities obtained an arrest warrant for Dombroski, and members of the Orlando Police Department’s Fugitive Unit took him into custody without incident.

Dombroski faces 116 possession counts

Dombroski was charged with 116 counts of possession of material depicting the sexual performance of a child involving more than 10 images, according to police.

He also faces one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device.

The charges are accusations. Dombroski is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith credited the electronics store employees with contacting authorities after discovering the material.

Public safety is a shared responsibility, and every person in our city has a role to play,” Smith said. “These employees saw a threat, took action, and immediately contacted law enforcement.”

Smith said the employees’ decision to report what they encountered allowed investigators to respond and continue the investigation.

“This is exactly what we mean when we say: if you see something, say something,” Smith said.

Police did not identify the electronics store or the employees involved.

The Orlando Police Department said the case remained an active and ongoing investigation and that no additional information was immediately available.
