The individual, Nathan Holmberg, described by officials as "a monster,” was arrested after a tip from what they say is a "good Samaritan" came into contact with Holmberg’s phone, leading to the discovery of over 650 videos and photos.

The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office said it has identified eight child victims and is seeking the public’s help to find more across multiple Florida counties.

Officials say Holmberg groomed victims from the ages of three to ten, and discovered an additional 30 devices at his home, which are now under investigation.


Tampa Bay 28 Mugshot Policy

When a mugshot is used
If the person is still on the loose and a potential threat to the community; if there is a good chance that showing the suspect would help identify additional victims or otherwise protect the public from a serious threat or if the crime or the suspect is of such a significant note that seeing them in a mugshot is in the greater public interest.

Using previous mugshots
Only if the story is specifically talking about that previous crime

We do not show mugshots of victims

This policy started in early 2021
