The man admitted molesting and photographing boys in Florida, where he was a babysitter.
GLOUCESTER TWP. -- An investigation that began when a township boy was allegedly sent explicit photos from a Florida man ended in that man's arrest on child molestation charges.
Andrew Davila, 20, of Ocala, Florida Detectives from Homeland Security Investigations arrested Andrew Davila, 20, of Ocala, on four counts of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child under 12.
According to a statement Wednesday from the Camden County prosecutor's office, detectives were investigating the images he sent to the New Jersey boy when they found child pornography and Davila admitted he had molested several boys under the age of 12.
The investigation began Sept. 8 when Gloucester Township police learned that a 13-year-old boy was receiving sexually explicit images from an adult male through Facebook.
After law enforcement obtained his Facebook account and his computer's IP address, Special Agent Kimberlee Gautier of the Cherry Hill office of Homeland Security Investigation identified the male who sent the photos as Davila, according to the release.

Homeland Security Investigation special agents in Orlando went to Davila's home and found pornographic images of children on his computer, according to the prosecutor's office.
While being questioned, Davila told the agents that he was a babysitter for several children and that he had molested several of the boys he had photographed, the prosecutor's office said.
The release did not say whether any of the alleged victims were the children he babysat.
Davila is being held without right to bail in the Marion County, Florida jail.
