Daytona Beach police have confirmed to News 13 that a hotel owner has been arrested in a child porn bust.
In a joint investigation with the FBI, the police raided the Desert Inn hotel Wednesday morning.
The hotel was locked down due to the investigation, with at least 40 guests inside.
According to News 13 reporter Saul Saenz, around 70 police and FBI officials raided the hotel at about 10 a.m. Investigators said they are serving search warrants to look into reports of child porn, child sexual abuse and child exploitation. The proclaimed owner, who has not been identified, was charged with three counts of sex acts on a 13-year-old, one count of lewd and lascivious and voyeurism.
Police Chief Mike Chitwood told News 13 the raid is the culmination of a month-long investigation between the FBI and Daytona Beach police.
The FBI said it received solid information about a month ago about illegal activities occurring inside the Atlantic Avenue hotel. Chitwood said a series of sealed search warrants were executed.
