The Seattle Seahawks have fired security manager Aaron Miyasato after his arrest on charges of possession and dealing of child pornography, the team said in a statement to King 5’s Susannah Frame.

Miyasato, 41, was reportedly arrested Wednesday after Seattle Police SWAT team members executed a search warrant at his home. Police reportedly confiscated more than 25,000 images of child pornography, as well as videos of children as young as 1 being sexually exploited.

Miyasato is reportedly being held on $50,000 bail.

The Seahawks’ reaction via statement, per King 5:
