FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said they arrested an American Airlines pilot accused of transporting a laptop containing child pornography.
Christopher Holmes, 55, of Wilton Manors, Fla., was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers Aug. 16 at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport after a flight from Guadalajara, Mexico, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported Monday.
The officers confiscated a Toshiba laptop he was carrying and allegedly found images depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct, a federal criminal complaint said.
They also found a chat log on the computer traced to Holmes in which he allegedly talked about his desire to hurt and violently rape children.
Police were tipped off to Holmes' alleged crime in April when the Drug Enforcement Administration conducted a raid on a methamphetamine lab in Milwaukee in which several computers were confiscated. On one of the computers, agents found chat logs from 2007 to 2010 linked to Holmes that allegedly indicated his desire to rape children.
Homeland Security put an alert on Holmes allowing customs officials "to stop Holmes if he was trying to cross the border," which he did Aug. 16, the newspaper said.
