According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, a gymnastics instructor at Twister Gymnastics in Boca Raton is facing nine charges for possessing and compiling child pornography, and detectives are concerned there may be local victims.
Hassan Jawad, 37, has been teaching at the school, at 3100 N.W. Boca Raton Blvd., for more than a year.
Detectives with the Internet Crimes Against Children task force arrested Jawad at his home in Deerfield Beach Thursday morning.
During their investigation, detectives found multiple videos and images of boys engaged in sex acts with boys or men. Most of the victims appear to be between 7 and 13.
