Three men are behind bars in what authorities are calling the "worst case" of child sex abuse.  

The San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office identified the three suspects as Cody Franklin, James Tumlinson and Patrick Tumlinson.  Deputies say a search of a trailer in Shepherd led to the discovery of memory sticks with more than 3,000 images and videos of local children being sexually abused. 

Authorities say some of the children ages five to 12 were even tortured. Seven of the victims have been identified but there are fears there could be many more.
