CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - The Charlotte County Sheriff's Computer Crimes detective arrested a veteran CCFD firefighter Wednesday afternoon and charged him with six counts of Possession of Child Pornography.

On July 29, 53-year-old George Brenk Menz of Punta Gorda, delivered a laptop computer to Tri County Computers for repairs. Technicians said they found child pornography images.

Using a CCSO forensic computer, the laptop belonging to Menz, revealed seven images of a prepubescent naked female posed in a sexual position exposing her genital area.

A search warrant was obtained for Menz's home to look for further child porn on other computers. Manz said he saved the images to his "My Documents" folder on the laptop. He was placed under arrest and booked into the Charlotte County Jail based on the laptop images.
