DEERFIELD BEACH (CBSMiami) -- A man is behind bars on 50 counts of child porn.

Broward Sheriff's Deputies arrested Michael Bedinotti, 44, at his Deerfield Beach home on Thursday after an investigation which went on for more than three months.

According to his arrest report, Bedinotti told deputies he had seen child porn in the past out of curiosity but had deleted it. He also told deputies he had never touched a child in a sexual manner.

When an investigator went through his computer, they found 50 images containing child pornography in his downloads folder, according to his arrest report. That's when Bedinotti was taken into custody.
