GPD arrests man on child pornography charges
Press release from Gainesville Police Department
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – On Thursday, June 8, with the assistance of the Gainesville Police Department SWAT Team, the GPD Internet Crimes Against Children Division served a search warrant at 1120 NW 45th Avenue APT 64. The investigation was prompted after GPD received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The Cyber Tip indicated that META determined a user uploaded and shared child sexual abuse material on their platform on two different occasions.
Further investigation by GPD Detective Montague revealed that the images were uploaded from an account believed to be owned by David C. Williams, 48, who resides at the listed location. During a post-Miranda interview, Williams admitted to the ownership of the account in question. Williams went on to state that he was “going through a dark place” when he distributed those videos and that he “messed up.”
Williams was subsequently arrested for two counts of distribution of pornography.
GPD wants parents to be aware that children are being solicited and exploited through social networking and messaging apps. We encourage parents to have age-appropriate conversations with their children about the dangers of the internet. Please be vigilant and aware of any social networking platforms your children may access. If you have any questions about this incident, please contact GPD Detective Donna Montague at 352-393-7730 or montagueda@cityofgainesville.org
Way too many parents give their children phones and tablets as a babysitting device. It’s sad to see how lazy parents have become. It’s even more sad to see how many degenerate pedophiles roam around looking for a helpless prey. This is what I would label as a sick society.
Wasn’t is Real Johnny or Johnny Cash on here saying bruthas never get arrested for this? He was suprised a majority w*yte area would see majority w*yte criminals for this. I recall several UF bruthas getting nabbed for it when I went to UF, and many more across the other FL cities I’ve lived in over the years. (It’s usually ‘upperclass’ edumacated bruthas…) But AC is a hotspot. Hope racist Johnny is eating his socks right now!
Is he another Instagram pizza map emoji user? Lock em up!
That’s a hard 48…
