Agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested to Flagler County residents after an investigation revealed they battered two female children in separate incidents.
Paul Dykes Jr., 18, and his girlfriend, 20-year-old Erin Marie Vickers, were charged with capital sexual battery after a joint investigation with the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
The investigation began last August after FDLE agents received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Dykes was initially arrested by FDLE agents on March 26, 2015. He was charged with 10 counts of child pornography and two counts of transmission of child pornography. Agents arrested Dykes after they served a search warrant at his B-section home in Palm Coast.
As the investigation continued, investigators found images of Dykes abusing a child under the age of 5 and images of Vickers abusing another child under the age of 5.
Earlier this week, Dykes was charged with capital sexual battery on a child under 12 and two counts of promoting the sexual performance of a child.
FDLE agents and Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies Wednesday arrested Vickers are charges of capital sexual battery on a child under 12.
Dykes and Vickers are both being held at the Flagler County Inmate Facility without bond.
