Goodyear said Hudome has had access to children.

"The possibility exists that he may have victimized some other children in Brevard," Brevard County sheriff's Maj. Tod Goodyear said. "We don't know that for a fact but it's possible."

Deputies investigated Hudome after they got a tip, searching his house at 2237 September Street and seizing a computer and other "electronic media equipment."

Investigators determined Hudome had been downloading child pornography for years and possessed child pornography depicting children from 4 to 6 years old.

Hudome's case is currently in the state system, but Goodyear said Hudome could face federal charges if deputies present the case to those authorities.
