BRIMFIELD, Ohio — A technician at a Tiffin imaging center caught driving with a stash of X-rays, mammograms, videos and pictures of women and children used the images for sexual gratification, police believe.
Jaime Aguirre, 42, of Willard, had hundreds of the images in his car when he was stopped Sunday in the township on a traffic violation, officers said. He was held in Portage County Jail in lieu of posting $250,000 bond. He is charged with four counts of possession of child pornography. His first hearing is Friday in Kent Municipal Court.
"He had images of neck-to-knees X-rays and mammograms of women and girls under the age of 18 which we believe he was using for sexual gratification, those are in addition to the pictures of women and children undressing," said Brimfield Police Chief David Blough. "This is one of the strangest things I've ever seen."
An officer stopped Aguirre for a traffic violation and thought the driver acted peculiarly, Blough said. Aguirre was returning home after attending a Pittsburgh Steelers football game. Police don't not know why he carried the images with him.
"The officer saw file storage devices, like zip discs and memory sticks in the car, and asked if he could look inside the car," Blough said. "He also found marijuana in the car."
Blough said when police started looking through the storage devices they found the images. There are names and identification numbers on the files. Blough said police officers will spend hundreds of hours examining the images.
"It's a lot of work, but we owe it to the victims to be thorough," he said.
Karen Vela, administrator of Advanced Medical Imaging in Tiffin, where Aguirre has worked since December of 2007, said it is still unclear whether the images were taken at the facility.
"We have not yet compared the names and numbers," she said. Police also confiscated the computer and hundreds of CDs, DVDs and other storage devices from Aguirre's home in Huron County.
Aguirre also had numerous pictures and videos of women taken in public, Blough said.
