SEATTLE – The King County Prosecutor’s Office filed two felony child pornography charges Wednesday against Seattle Seahawks Security Manager Aaron Miyasato.
Court documents show Miyasato has been charged with dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct in the first degree and possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct in the first degree.
Miyasato is being held on a $50,000 bail.
Court documents show that Miyasato had over 25,000 images of child sexual abuse and admitted to chatting online with a person he believed to be 13 years old.
The prosecutor’s office says the charges are the first internet crimes against children filed this year by King County prosecutors, following an unusually high number of cases in 2020.
Last year, the King County Prosecuting Attorney filed 64 cases involving internet crimes against children, compared to 48 in 2019.
