Coast college student arrested at dorm for child sex abuse videos, authorities say
Federal and state authorities arrested a student at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Perkinston campus on a federal charge of possessing and transporting sexually explicit videos and images of children under the age of 5.
Walker Young, 19, of Long Beach, is being held without bond following his November arrest.
An investigation began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted federal agents to a Dropbox account that was uploading and sharing illegal child sexual abuse material over the Internet, according to an agent with Homeland Security Investigations.
After a warrant was served to Dropbox, Inc., authorities found the sexually-explicit videos of child victims as young as 1 and 2 years old in two different folders on Young’s computer, one named “HaHa” and the other called “HeHe,” the HSI investigator said.
During the investigation, authorities determined that Young lived in a dorm room at the college campus.
HSI agents, with assistance from the Stone County Sheriff’s Department and police at MGCCC, went to the college in November armed with a warrant and arrested Young.
After his arrest, Young admitted his actions, the investigator said.
