A Broward Health employee is facing 10 counts of possession of child pornography after his wife found electronic devices in their Deerfield Beach home with files showing girls as young as age 5 participating in sexual acts, a probable cause affidavit said.
Kevin Kull, 41, was arrested Friday and has since been released from jail after posting bail, court records show. He has been ordered to wear a GPS monitor as a condition of his pre-trial release. The judge also ordered Kull not have access to devices with internet capabilities and that he not have contact with any minors.
Kull’s wife, from whom he is separated, reported to Deerfield Beach deputies earlier this month that she found what she believed was child pornography on SD cards, hard drives and a cellphone while organizing their marital home to prepare to sell it, the affidavit said.
Investigators reviewed the thousands of files on July 9 and found 10 files depicting child pornography, the affidavit said, in addition to thousands of images of “child erotica” with minor girls “in sexually suggestive poses” and nearly 200 files of “animated child pornography depicting children as young as toddlers.”
They also found photos and videos discreetly taken of children at a public pool and videos of himself using a 3-foot-tall sex doll, the affidavit said.
Early Friday morning, Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children deputies and SWAT personnel carried out a search warrant at his home and found a laptop in the trunk of Kull’s car that had been hit multiple times with a hammer, the affidavit said. Hard drives from the laptop had been removed, and investigators could not find them.
Broward Health in a statement acknowledged Kull is an employee but did not respond to questions about his current title and employment history.
His LinkedIn profile says he has been the Director of Cyber Security and Access Governance since December 2024 and worked as the IT security manager and a senior IT auditor dating back to 2019.
Kull’s employment has been suspended since his arrest “due to the nature of the pending charges,” Broward Health’s statement said.
Kull has pleaded not guilty to the charges, court records show.
