The Polk County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday detectives arrested 11 people -- 10 men and a 16-year-old boy -- as part of an undercover child pornography investigation.
"Operation Guardians of Innocence II" arrested men involved in the possession, promotion and distribution of child porn, the sheriff's office said.
The suspects face 660 felony charges, according to the sheriff's office. More charges are pending too.
"Most of the images we saw during this investigation depicted children being sexually battered, that we have seen before - which means we haven't yet identified any local child victims, but as always, that is also a part of our investigation," Sheriff Grady Judd said in a news release.
Judd will discuss the results of the investigation at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday news conference.
Editor's Note: 10News will live stream the news conference on its Facebook page.
