Deputies said Price was not a stranger to the victims.

Price was found to have images of child sex abuse in his possession, some of which were made by Price and featured one of the victims.

He faces two counts of sexual battery on a person younger than 12 and 22 counts of possession of a sexual performance by a child.

Investigators encourage anyone else who may have been a victim of Price to call the sheriff’s office at 386-323-3574.
