Deltona, FL - A 70-year-old Deltona man is in the Volusia County Jail charged with the lewd and lascivious molestation of a person under the age of 12. The charges come after a male teenager recently reported being Patrick Renner's victim seven to eight years ago.

The teen also stated that within the last week he observed Renner possessing child pornography on electronic devices. He added that the images were sexually explicit and included teenage boys, as well as younger boys and girls.

An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday and Renner was arrested at his home that same afternoon. Detectives are searching for any other potential victims of sexual exploitation and more charges may be forthcoming.

Anyone with information on Renner's case or any similar case is urged to contact the Volusia County Sheriff's Office Child Exploitation Unit at 386-323-3574.

Renner remains in VCJ, being held on no bond.
