TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – David Wayne Aring, 49, formerly of Tallahassee, pled guilty on Monday, November 23, to a federal charge of receipt of child pornography.

Between March 26, 2017, and December 2, 2019, from his former Tallahassee apartment, Aring used a peer-to-peer file sharing program to download digital images and videos depicting child pornography. A search warrant was executed on Aring’s apartment on January 7, 2020, and investigators located a USB storage device and a desktop computer. Investigators say the USB device contained thousands of digital files that contained child pornography, including “bestiality and bondage involving children under the age of 12 (most notably infants and toddlers).”

Aring also possessed a ‘life-like’ child sex doll, reports said.
