A Tennessee dad who has fostered at least 20 children was busted with child pornography as he got off a cruise with his pregnant wife and eight children, according to authorities.

Jason Alan Miller, 48, was arrested at Port Miami on Sept. 13 after being picked for a random secondary screening at the end of a Carnival Cruise to the Cayman Islands.

During the search, he willingly gave immigration agents the passcode to his Samsung Galaxy — on which they found several photos of suspected child sexual abuse hidden in a folder in the Google Photos app, according to an affidavit obtained by WJHL.

They included a folder containing 45 photos titled “6yo_rare,” according to the court documents.

Miller was traveling with his pregnant wife and their eight children, ages 5 through 12 — seven of whom were foster children later adopted by the Millers.

The dad — who has fostered at least 20 children over the years — admitted knowing there was child porn on his phone, which he claimed nobody else had access to, according to the affidavit.

He was charged with possession and transportation of child pornography.

If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison.
