Man Arrested on Child Porn Charges

September 27, 2013

An Escambia County man was arrested Thursday on child pornography charges after  investigators determined he had downloaded sexually explicit pictures and movies of children
from the internet onto his home computer.

Calvin Louis Bridges, 28, of 2126 Schwab Court was charged with 14 counts of  possession of obscene material/child pornography. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail on a $28,000 bond.

Bridges was arrested at his home after agents with the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force initiated a search warrant at his residence Thursday after he was identified via the internet as downloading child pornography.

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

Task force members from the Office of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Walton County Sheriff’s Department assisted the Pensacola Police Department with this investigation.

    To Co-worker

    The North Florida child task force is very diligent in investigating these crimes. The can confirm if he was at home or work during the downloading. Every download is time stamped (Date, time, user, user password and IPO address and duration of viewing and download) 14 counts does not sound like a fluke chance. Good people do bad things. It happens all the time.

    REGARDING:
    “Innocent until proven guilty,,,,but ..Bond too low.”

    If you really think he’s innocent, bond should not be required nor should he be charged. Bond is not to punish on the presumption of guilt but to assure the release of the accused to enable preparation of defense — if any– and to assure return for trial.

    If there were reason to believe he would hurt others if released or that he would not return for trial, no bond is reasonable and he should stay in jail.

    David for perfect judges

    I can understand “co-workers” comment. Some of us have had house guest who wanted to just “look up a couple of ball scores”. I normally say that I’m off line right now and keep my computer put away. It’s a sad comment about the mind set of some people.

    WOW! I don’t even know what to say.

    I think I’ll hold my judgment until all the facts are in. Just like in the article from yesterday on the other similar arrest-how do they know who in the home is actually downloading anything on a computer?
    I know this man and I hope and pray this is not true. I’m holding out hope Calvin, please let it be proven that you did NOT do this!
