Santa Barbara Police Detectives arrested city resident Carlos Alfredo Martinez-Aguilar for the possession of child pornography images Wednesday.

The investigation began in early 2020 after a District Attorney’s Office investigator shared a “cybertip” with SBPD detectives and obtained a search warrant for Martinez-Aguilar’s home address, in the 300 block of West Figueroa Street, where the pornography was found.

In the following police interview, 34-year-old Martinez-Aguilar admitted he was responsible for the child pornography in his home. He was booked for into Santa Barbara County Jail for felony possession of obscene matter.
