Porn Collector caught videotaping kids
John Jefferson Fields, 66, from Coral Springs was spotted by an observant Deerfield Beach Ocean Rescue lifeguard videotaping children on the beach as they washed themselves off at public showers. Fields voluntarily surrendered his camera to police, who, when they went to his home, found 50,000 images of child pornography (images of girls aged 1 to 12 and videos of boys engaging in sexual acts) which he had collected over the last 13 years. Images found in the recording device on Nov. 23 had over a year’s worth of images from children on Deerfield Beach. Fields faces 100 counts of child pornography against him at this time. Field has not admitted to having physical contact with any children and has retained a lawyer. Anyone with information about kids potentially harmed by Field is asked to contact BSO Detective Montgomery at 954-888-5239 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or www.sheriff.org.
