Cantonment Man Pleads In Child Porn Case

May 20, 2014

A Cantonment man has pleaded no contest to 10 child pornography charges filed against him after  investigators after determined he had downloaded sexually explicit pictures and movies of children from the internet onto his home computer.

Jason Scott Bergen, 42, of 806 Chesapeake Trail was charged with a total of 25 counts of possession of obscene material/child pornography. Fifteen of those child pornography charges were dropped when Bergen entered his plea. He will be sentenced on the remaining charges late this month in Escambia County Circuit Court, following the completion of a presentencing investigation.

Bergen remains free on bond.

Agents with the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force initiated a search warrant at Bergen’s residence in late September 20113 after he was identified via the internet as downloading child pornography.

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