A DeKalb man faces almost a dozen felony charges after police said they found more than 20 videos on his phone depicting child sexual abuse, according to records filed this week in DeKalb County court.

DeKalb police arrested Murrieta this month after finding more than 20 videos of child sexual abuse material on his phone, according to a police synopsis filed in court Nov. 8. Ten of those videos were reproduced screen-recorded duplicates saved to the hidden photos section on Murrieta’s phone, police wrote.
