Officers were able to track and identify Wong and his location through his cell phone. 

Police also discovered the black and white tiled bathroom in the video as the one in the childcare facility. Other videos and images from that bathroom were also found. 

Wong used the social media app Kik to join an online group called “Younger love [heart emoji] [heart emoji]” that shared the images.

In his phone, a hidden file containing 428 media files, “many of which contained videos and images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct,” according to the FBI.

Wong has previously worked in other daycare facilities, including one in Livermore.

He pleaded guilty to producing and distributing child pornography involving preschool-aged children and toddlers.
