Polk County Internet Sex Crimes Lawyer: Lakeland Man Faces 197 Sex Crimes Charges
An accused child molester already in jail has had additional charges placed against him.
According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, the Lakeland man sexually assaulted two toddlers and photographed the assault. He then allegedly shared the photos with two other children, deputies said.
The 53-year-old is facing additional charges of sexually abusing two toddler boys, photographing the molestation and showing adult pornography to two other children.

His new charges include:
- 2 counts of capital sexual battery
- 6 counts of lewd molestation
- 5 counts of lewd exhibition
- 3 counts of promotion of sexual performance
- 115 counts of possession of child pornography
- 1 count of an unnatural and lascivious act
The man is now facing a total of 197 felony charges.
He remains in the Polk County Jail.

The Internet has created an outlet for virtually anyone to produce sexual material. When someone uses a website to create or exchange pictures of children engaging in sex acts, this constitutes child pornography. As this case demonstrates, law enforcement set up Internet sting operations to trap adults looking for child porn or interested in meeting children for sex on a regular basis. We can investigate your case and apply the best possible defense for your unique situation. We use experts to analyze computers because we know how easy it is to download child pornography accidentally.
