FULLERTON- Police have a arrested a sex offender who was found to be in possession of a "huge stash" of child pornography, as well as other paraphernalia, authorities said. Police fear that because of the type of pornography discovered, there may be unidentified child molestation victims who need help.
Vaughn Robert Biby, 46, was arrested Thursday evening at his home in the 2000 block of W. Houston during a sex registrant compliance check, according to Fullerton Police Sgt. Andrew Goodrich. Biby's prior convictions include child molestation, and the production of child pornography.
"There was a huge stash" of child pornography found throughout the house, said Fullerton Police Detective Laura Markoski.
"Tens of thousands" of pieces of child pornography in the mediums of photographs, DVDs, books, cameras, and camcorders were found in Biby's home, Goodrich said. Disturbingly, he said, numerous camcorders were found to be filled with what appeared to be homemade video tapes of children.
Officers say Biby's car was discovered to be filled "from floor to ceiling" with child pornography as well.
The children in the photos and videos appear to primarily range in age from infant to pre-pubescent, Goodrich said.
Police also uncovered binoculars with cameras built into them in Biby's house and car, as well as hundreds of game tokens for use at the children's restaurant, "Chuck-E-Cheese."
Biby was also in possession of true crime novels on the topic of police investigations on child predators, which investigators believe he read to help him stay ahead of any law enforcement investigations.
