UMATILLA, Fla. (WESH/NBC News) – A Florida Boy Scouts leader has been arrested on child pornography charges.
Michael Douglas Hanen, 67, of Umatilla faces 38 counts of possession of child pornography.
Hanen was a Lake County pack leader with the Boy Scouts, officials said.
Investigators launched an investigation after receiving a tip about Hanen’s connection to images depicting child pornography.
During the execution of a search warrant, agents conducted a forensic preview of a digital device and found 38 files of children who appeared to be under the age of 18 depicted in sexual images.
