Joshua Tylerbest, a contestant on Katie Thurston’s season of “The Bachelorette,” has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography.
The IT consultant was apprehended last month in Miami. According to TMZ, security operatives alleged that a Google account registered to him was flagged for uploading approximately 50 images/videos depicting child sexual abuse.
Authorities obtained a search warrant for the Google account and reported finding evidence of Tylerbest engaging with the child pornography images.
Following a search of his residence, law enforcement seized several electronic items, including his iPhone, which allegedly contained 15 files depicting child pornography. The clips were said to include videos of children, some of whom are under 10, engaged in explicit sexual acts with adults.
Tylerbest has been formally charged with 15 felony counts of possession of materials showing a sexual performance by a child. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled to appear in court in June.
