A 41-year-old Houston man was arrested last week after a Google email scan uncovered child pornography.
John Henry Skillern (pictured) was sending explicit images of a young girl when the search giant intercepted them and handed them over to local police, according to Houston station KHOU 11 News.
After obtaining a search warrant, police found more child porn stored on Skillern's mobile phone and tablet, as well as text messages and emails discussing his interest in children, KHOU 11 News said. He has been charged with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of promotion of child pornography; he is being held on a $200,000 bond.
Skillern is a registered sex offender who worked as a cook at a local Denny's. According to KHOU 11 News, he would take photos of children at the restaurant using his cell phone.
