A man in Ocala was arrested after being caught filming young girls at Walmart in early August.
Officers arrested Joshua Gaines, 32, after responding to the Walmart on 2600 Southwest 19th Avenue Road on August 9.
Security footage revealed that Gaines pretended to shop and used a concealed camera to take video of children.
Gaines has already been trespassed from the Walmart since August 2023 for secretly recording young girls.
Officers found a Go-Pro and two cell phones on Gaines. OPD obtained a search warrant and found hundreds of images of child pornography on the devices.
