Disturbing news coming out of Florida to report where an 18-year-old who posted images of himself holding numerous firearms to both Instagram and Snapchat was investigated by both local and federal law enforcement, only for them to discover disturbing videos of child pornography on his phone.

The Miami Dade Police Department was contacted by the father of 18-year-old Sean Mesa after he had a growing concern about his son's social media posts depicting himself holding the firearms on each of the social media platforms.

Several of his classmates had even contacted the United States Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Violent Gang Task Force to report disturbing posts made by Mesa where they had received forwards of Sean Mesa's Instagram and Snapchat photos, "recklessly displaying firearms and pointing them at the camera," according to the arrest warrant.

Worried about another event similar to that of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, the father wanted law enforcement to ensure him that his son wasn't planning a similar mass casualty event, and he contacted the Miami-Dade Police.

That's when Detective John Messenger from the Miami-Dade Police Department went to speak with Sean Mesa at Dr. Michael Krop Senior High, to "engage in a friendly conversation to understand what Sean Mesa's fascination with firearms was," according to the<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article201760969.html#storylink=cpy"> Miami Herald</a>.

Law enforcement across the nation have been responding to potential threats involving individuals who've posted images depicting firearms to social media, as a response to the Parkland, Florida school shooting, where everyone seems to be on edge as a response to the tragic events that happened in Broward County.

Several of Mesa's social media posts were alarming, but one of his Snapchat posts showed Mesa holding a handgun, saying in the captions, "Now they watching so I ain't stopping.'

According to the arrest warrant, it was that particular Snapchat post which alarmed both Mesa's classmates and faculty at Dr. Michael Krop Senior High, which resulted in the reports to the federal law enforcement agencies involved in the case.

"The latest Snapchat photos have students and staff at Dr. Michael Krop Senior High alarmed and afraid," according to the arrest warrant.

When Detectives questioned Mesa, he responded that "he likes guns and can post whatever he wishes to social media," according to<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5431603/Teen-turned-gun-photos-child-porn-phone.html"> Daily Mail</a>.

Authorities then asked Mesa's father to hand over his sons mobile devices, and once they obtained the devices owned by Mesa they would send his phone off to a forensic laboratory for further examination.

To their shock, they would uncover far more than just images of Sean Mesa holding firearms in a provocative manner.

Once the Secret Service forensics laboratory took further inspection of Mesa's devices, they found videos of what appeared to be a young boy under the age of 10 being raped by adults.

The disturbing pedophilia laced video had also been sent from Mesa's phone to at least two other people who were in a group chat with him, according to police.

Mesa was arrested on several charges, including two counts of child pornography, both of which are felonies, and one misdemeanor charge of carelessly handling a weapon.

"This latest arrest affirms our zero tolerance for actions that instill fear in a community and nation left grieving and traumatized over the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy," said Ian A. Moffett, the Miami-Dade Police Chief.

The devices could also lead to future arrests, with federal authorities now investigating the case and the origin of the child pornography discovered.

It appears as if Mesa may not only have had an interest in firearms or potentially harming others, but also suffers from a disturbing pedophile obsession.

If you or anyone you know has any additional information on Sean Mesa you're being urged to contact the Miami-Dade Police Department at (305) 279-6929.
