A Tennessee man is headed to prison for a sickening crime after a workplace audit turned up a stash of child pornography on his work computer. Anthony Flowers, 59, was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison for possessing the vile material.
The trouble started in September 2025 when an internal auditor at Gerdau Long Steel in Jackson discovered Flowers was downloading large files to his work computer. The auditor found at least nine of the files contained child sexual abuse material, leading to a search warrant and a confession from Flowers.
FBI agents reviewed the files and discovered 40 images and nine videos of minors engaging in explicit conduct, including sadistic or masochistic acts and the abuse of infants and toddlers.
Flowers pleaded guilty in November 2025 to one count of possession of child pornography. He’s now facing a long stretch behind bars.
