SEBRING -- David Frost, 44, of Lake Placid was booked into the Highlands County Jail Tuesday afternoon on 233 counts of child pornography. He is being held on a $233,000 bond -- $1,000 per count.

Nell Hays, public information officer for the Sheriff's Office, said no local children are involved.

According to the arrest report, Frost was discovered downloading child pornography through the "Child Protection System" -- software law enforcement officers used to monitor the downloading or sharing of child pornography files.

The report says, "On 08/22/12 I reviewed potential suspect targets within the Highlands County area. I located a suspect (with an LP virtual address) who displayed more than 103 child notable files."

In the ensuing six-month investigation it was discovered Frost has 127 files of photographic stills, and 106 files of video.

His first court appearance is March 18.
