MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA. (WSVN) - Police arrested a former Miami Springs Little League coach after they received a cyber tip that he downloaded sexual images and videos of children, authorities said.
Adrian Cotera, a Miami Springs resident, was taken into custody after detectives linked his phone and online activity to child exploitation material, according to an arrest report.
The investigation began when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children flagged a cyber tip to authorities. Detectives traced IP addresses associated with the files to Cotera’s home.
Police said Cotera was surveilled and later stopped during a traffic stop. Officers found a firearm and a bag containing 21.5 grams of suspected cocaine.
Cotera was arrested and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade.
Friday morning, the suspect appeared before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy S. Glazer.
Detectives said Cotera faces several felony counts of possession of child pornography and has confessed the crimes.
Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Miami Springs Police Department at 305-888-5286.
