Two Escambia Men Indicted On Child Exploitation Charges
June 18, 2015
A federal grand jury has indicted two Escambia County men on child exploitation charges.
John W. Robertson, 68, and Robert M. Grafton Jr., 29, were charged with attempted enticement of a minor and possession of child pornography.
The indictment alleges that, in May 2015, Robertson and Grafton knowingly attempted to entice an individual less than 18 years of age to engage in sexual activity, and that he possessed sexualized images and videos involving minors less than 12 years of age.
Robertson and Grafton originally appeared in federal court last month upon being arrested on a federal criminal complaint. He will be arraigned on the indictment at the United States Courthouse in Pensacola and is being held in federal custody at the Santa Rosa County Jail, pending further proceedings.
The cases are being investigated by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations, Pensacola Police Department, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and other agencies that are part of the Northwest Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg.
