An Aurora man arrested last week was caught with more than 400,000 photos and videos of child sexual abuse material, according to the police department.
Michael Ray Lozano, 52, was arrested on Dec. 4 and charged with eight counts of felony sexual exploitation of a child, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department.
Federal investigators first learned about a suspect in Aurora attempting to download child sexual abuse material in 2023, police said. FBI agents later searched Lozano’s home and seized an unknown number of devices, which together stored several terabytes of explicit material involving children.
The FBI handed the investigation over to the Aurora Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit so charges could be filed in state criminal court, according to the release.
As of Thursday, Lozano had posted bail at $5,000, police said. He is next scheduled to appear in court Friday morning.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.
