VENICE — A Venice man living with his mother was arrested Thursday after a search warrant at the home unearthed 218 files containing images of child pornography, leading to 40 charges against him, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.

Daniel Muldowney, 28, of the 200 block of Lorraine Ave., is in custody after detectives investigating Internet crimes against children tracked down three different IP addresses that all led back to the Venice home. After conducting surveillance on the home and the IP addresses, it was determined that Muldowney was the one conducting the searches and obtaining the pornographic images.
