Cal Poly student accused of storing child porn
June 10, 2015
A 19-year-old Cal Poly student has allegedly been storing explicit images and video of children as young as eight to ten years old.
San Luis Obispo police arrested Elliot Masami Yu Jing Kasadate on Tuesday for possession of child pornography. Detectives say they found videos and pictures of children under 18 engaged in various stages of sexual conduct.
Many of the images contained children who appeared eight to ten years old, according to a police department news release. Detectives found the child pornography on Kasadate’s computer and other electronic devices he owned.
Police searched Kasadate’s home after receiving a tip from a local police detective who is affiliated with the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Kasadate lives in the 1500 block of El Tigre Court in San Luis Obispo.
Kasadate was home during the search, and detectives took him into custody. Investigators do not believe that anyone else at the residence possessed or shared the images and videos with Kasadate.
Police booked Kasadate in San Luis Obispo County with bail set at $35,000. Kasadate is no longer in custody, according to the jail website.
