Detectives said a total of 848 child pornography files were observed during that time period.

The victims seen in the videos and images are believed to be girls between the ages of 2 and 10, authorities said.

According to the affidavit, the pornography showed children engaging in various sex acts with and without other children and adults.

A search warrant was executed this month at Kofler's home, where he told detectives he had been living for the past three months.

Deputies said Kofler confessed to possessing child pornography and said that he is the only person who lives at his home and uses his computer.

He faces dozens of counts of possession of child pornography.
