Prison Time For North Escambia Sex Offender With Ice Cream Truck
November 23, 2010
A North Escambia man was sentenced to 15 years in prison Monday after pleading no contest to 20 counts of possession of child pornography, including images of child molestation.
Martin Lyle Christianson, 58, will also be required to register as a sex offender once he is released from prison, according to the sentence handed down by Circuit Court Judge Terry Terrell.
Christianson was named the most wanted man in Florida back in May after he fled his Crowndale Court home in Cottage Hill in a used ice cream truck later found abandoned in Mobile. He was captured a few days later in Louisiana by U.S. Marshals.

No, they didn’t tell us anything about where the pictures were obtained. We asked, but they wouldn’t tell us anything.
Of course you don’t, who would?
Any word on the source of the photographs? The ones who made them should be called into question as well, I would think.
David and others,
He was in possession of photographs of children as young as 10 months and as old as 10, some of them engaged in sexual acts. For some reason, they didn’t see fit to tell the public that.
When the home was raided, they used two SWAT teams, DCF, ICE, etc. The big panel truck pulled into one of the neighboring yards and out poured all these men in fatigues with machine guns drawn. They surrounded the house and searched it and a neighboring home. They stupidly let this idiot leave because he told them that he had to “go buy the day’s supply of ice cream” and THEY LET HIM GO!!!!! It was a couple of weeks later that they said that was who they had decided had done the crime.
And regardless of how old he will be upon his release, I don’t want him near me or mine.
Well,he’s also UGLY!!!!
REGARDING:
“what is it with men and ice cream trucks molesting children?”
Unless I missed something, it is not reported that he molested any children. Supposedly he possessed material showing it being done, so you might say he indirectly paid to have it done, but still . . . (In Muslim countries, it might even have been status quo photography, don’t know the ages involved.)
I think the thing in our minds is that we associate ice cream trucks with children. Some ice cream trucks don’t even sell to children, just transport ice cream to stores, but I’m assuming such was not the case here.
Anyway, the gentleman is 58. In fifteen years he will be 73 and anybody who cares will be able to keep up with his whereabouts, so he’s not likely to be as dangerous as some seem to fear.
David for electronic tracking
and neurological fixes

well where do you expect a pervert to hang out…..
they need access to kids!!!!
that means schools or reel them in with candy or ice cream.
what is it with men and ice cream trucks molesting children? I guess this is their way of enticing them to their truck. A good family or a good man couldn’t even start an ice cream truck business because all fo them already have a TAG on them of what they are and what they are about. Everytime i hear the songs playing on one in our area, i think, here comes the ________ (you fill in the line!)
20 counts,… 15 years…. Something is seriously wrong with this picture. That is less than 1 year for each count. My prayer is that God’s will be done in this situation.
This fellow would apparently be more of a looker—not a doer. He was charged with being in possession of kiddie porn—not messing with a child himself. I well understand that the photos and so on that the lookers like have to be made some where and causes a child to be hurt. RANDY–castration does not work most times–the people who do this sort of thing will use “objects” to harm the victim. There was a write-up in the paper a few days ago about a state passing a law that ban films of women killing small animal by stepping on the animal with their high heels. There must be a market for this sort of crap. I guess it falls in the same category as “golden showers” and so on.
CREEPER!!!!
When he gets to prison, they will take care of him!!!!! Believe that.
can anyone spell CASTRATION…..
if he is on his best behavior, will he be eligible for parole after he does a third of his time, i.e., 5 years? just guessing here, but i bet he does. there just isnt enough room in our prisons to keep these whackos locked up. there is just too many drug related offenders to make room for the likes of this guy.
This is a sicko for sure. There is no cure for people like this, only death or life in prison , and that needs to be a special prison created only for the perverts and sicko’s . To do a child this way or think it is out of my rim of thinking. Taking away that innocents is not normal , but a person such as this ,does not think or care about the wonderful innocents of your children. SICKO
Life without parole is the only correct sentence.
This is a disgrace …no doubt about it.
Pedophiles can not be cured…they know this….pedophiles in prison have told them over and over….they have come right out and told them if you let me out
I’m going to hurt some kids again….
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Do we never learn anything as a society of so called “civilized citizens”.
OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY.
THEY ARE AND WILL BE THE FUTURE OF OUR WORLD AND ALL
THE FUTURE GENERATIONS AND THEY HAVE TO BE SAFE AND WHOLE
PYHSICALLY AND MENTALLY TO MEET THAT RESPONSIBLITY,
IT IS OUR RESPONIBILITY TO SEE TO IT THAT THEY CAN WITHOUT
HAVING TO SPEND THEIR WHOLE LIFE GETTING OVER WHAT
SOME TWISTED PERVERT DID TO THEM AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS
BECAUSE …..
WE KNEW AND DIDN’T DO ENOUGH!!!!!!!
What I want to know is where is the public outcry about this light sentence?? Does anyone care about the innocent anymore? Oh God have mercy on us when we care more about the criminals rights than we care about the victim!
There really needs to be a longer sentence for this crime, at least the same time it takes the child to get over what he did to them, which is a lifetime.
This dirt bag should never be released.
