Federal authorities say a missionary with the Sanford-based New Tribes Mission sexually abused several children and produced pornography of the acts.
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations began investigating Warren Scott Kennell after receiving a tip that he posted numerous photographs on a website used extensively by people trading child pornography, a criminal complaint said.
When Kennell arrived at Orlando International Airport on Friday from a flight that originated in Brazil, agents stopped him and found him in possession of three thumb drives and one external hard drive.
Kennell, who said he’s lived in Brazil for several years, initially denied touching a child inappropriately and said there would be no child pornography on his computer-related items.
