Escambia Man Arrested On Child Porn Charges

September 7, 2013

An Escambia County man has been arrested on child pornography charges after investigators determined he downloaded sexually explicit pictures and movies of children from the internet.

Walter Leandru Burket, 68, was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of possession with intent to promote child pornography. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $22,000.

Agents with the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force initiated a  search warrant at Burket’s residence on September 5 after he was identified via the internet as downloading child pornography.

Additional charges are pending, and the investigation is continuing to determine if he transmitted files or downloaded additional child pornography.

Members of the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, and Escambia and Walton counties sheriff’s offices assisted the Pensacola Police Department with the investigation.

    We can wage cyber war against super powers, yet the servers and computers carrying this materiel are beyond the reach of NSA hackers?

    It is time to reexamine the protocols of client/server and peer to peer networks.

    There are sick and twisted people everywhere…not just here. I imagine some of this stuff came from other states and maybe even other countries, where it is more prevalent. The internet allows you to look at things in other countries…it is global. Good job LEOS!

    I don’t understand why there are so many sick men in this area that have to view child pornography. Pornography addiction is a serious issue. A person keeps viewing it and wants to see harder and more perverse material the longer they view it. This is one downside to the invention of internet, as it is easier for people to be more perverse than ever before!
