A 29-year-old Sebring man has been arrested and charged with 47 counts of possession of child pornography. 

Andrew Tyrone Crump, Jr. was arrested at his apartment at the Silver Sands Resort on State Road 17 on Tuesday morning. 

The Highlands County Sheriff's Office began the investigation in March when the Special Victims Unit learned that a local IP address had been sending child pornography. During a search of Crump's computer, deputies found a folder containing 47 child pornography videos.

Crump was booked into the Highlands County Jail and his bond was set at $94,000. 

Deputies say more charges are possible.
