Eric Rogers | Florida Today

After a year-long investigation, deputies have arrested a Rockledge man they say used his cellphone to download pornographic images of girls as young as 11 years old.

Isaac Levinsky, 34, of the 3500 block of Fodder Drive, faces two counts of possession of child pornography. He was released Friday from the Brevard County Jail on $150,000 bond.

Investigators with the Brevard County Sheriff's Office arrested Levinsky on Thursday after an investigation that began in May of last year, when they received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a cloud storage provider for Verizon Communications had tagged an account for downloading suspecting child pornography.

The tip included images showing young girls that appeared between 11 and 13 years old with their genitals exposed, investigators said.

Subpoenas issued to Verizon, the cloud service provider Synchronoss Technologies, and Spectrum revealed Levinsky was the owner of the associated account, reports state.

In April, agents made contact with Levinsky at the VA Outpatient Clinic in Viera. Levinsky admitted that he had used his LG Verizon cellphone to download approximately 150 pornographic images and videos of children between the ages of 11 and 14, including the images provided to the Sheriff's Office.

He told investigators he downloaded the images "based on his own personal curiosity."

"Mr. Levinsky explained that he felt like a terrible person for downloading said material because people took advantage of children. ... [He] stated he would delete the images he downloaded because he felt bad for possessing them." investigators wrote in a report.

Levinsky agreed to write an apology letter after the interview, which agents included in an affidavit:

"I'm very sorry for what happened to you," Levinsky wrote. "I hope that you are okay and not suffering now. ... I am sorry I viewed anything and I am sorry to you and your families."
