Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at a news conference that 46-year-old Shawn Fitzgerald possessed hundreds of pornographic images on his cellphone. Judd said it didn't appear that the images were locally produced or that Fitzgerald had harmed any children himself. The images depict children as young as 10 months old being sexually abused by adults and engaging in acts with other children, the sheriff said. Fitzgerald teaches at Lakeland High School and has coached the boy’s soccer team there since 2014.
