ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2013 A St. Petersburg man is behind bars today after a targeted investigation into online activity led local detectives straight to his front door.<\/p>\n

Acting on a specific lead funneled through the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program, authorities moved in this morning to arrest 65-year-old Raymond Bourque.<\/p>\n

Bourque was taken into custody without incident following a forensic look into his digital devices. According to investigators, the tip from the federal task force pointed toward the possession of prohibited materials, prompting a localized search and subsequent recovery of illegal files.<\/p>\n
