TAMPA - An employee at Tampa General Hospital has been arrested for possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Detectives say they found 79 images and videos of child sexual abuse material in the possession of 42-year-old David Farber.

As the investigation continued, HCSO says Farber had also taken inappropriate photos and videos of himself in operating rooms and patient care areas, which he then sent to others on social media.

Investigators say that the material Farber possessed included children under the age of five and the images and videos showed explicit abuse.

The nature of the content could bring on enhanced penalties, according to HCSO.
