SARASOTA - A Palm Beach man is facing more than a dozen child pornography charges here on the Suncoast.

Sarasota Police say 45-year-old Jorge Tamayo was in court at the Silvertooth Judicial Center Wednesday on an unrelated matter, when officers were waiting there with a warrant.

He faces 18 counts of child pornography.

Records show Tamayo has been in and out of court over the past year on divorce and mortgage foreclosure matters.

Tamayo is in the Sarasota County Jail on $36,000 bond.
