Investigators found numerous sex dolls in the home of a man arrested for downloading hundreds of files of child pornography.
The Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force reports that on October 26 they arrested 46-year-old Stephen Stone Edwards II for possessing child pornography.
They say Edwards downloaded hundreds of files of child porn.
When investigators raided his home near Alma School and Queen Creek Roads, they say they also found "numerous sex dolls." They describe one of the dolls as having "a childlike body size," with a "black plaid schoolgirl outfit."
When confronted by investigators Edwards reportedly said, “He was drawn to the taboo nature of these videos." He also claimed he would never actually touch a child. He reportedly said the small sex doll was supposed to simulate a "small Asian woman."
He was arrested on multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
