PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Charles “Billy” Danielson, 50, of Pensacola, for 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse materials and one count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.
 
The investigation began in February after agents received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about a social media user uploading images of child pornography.  
 
On July 10, agents served a search warrant at Danielson’s residence and seized multiple electronic devices for examination. Agents found numerous images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of male and female children, some as young as infants and toddlers.
 
Danielson was booked into the Escambia County Jail. The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 1st Judicial Circuit.
