Paul Dykes Jr. and his ex-girlfriend, Vickers, were accused of abusing two little girls under age 5 and possessing child pornography.

As News4Jax previously reported, Dykes was arrested by Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers in his home on 10 counts of possessing child pornography. As the investigation continued, officers said that they found images of Dykes abusing a child under age 5 and Vickers abusing another little girl under the age of 5.

The FDLE began its investigation after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

The state attorney's office said Vickers has other pending charges as a result of the incident and will be sentenced at a later date.
