Federal Prison For Escambia Man On Child Porn Charges
February 24, 2017
An Escambia County man is headed to federal prison on child porn charges.
Shawn Ryan Goodfleisch, 38, of Pensacola, was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in federal prison and will be required to register as a sex offender. A jury convicted Goodfleisch on September 29, 2016, of receipt of child pornography and destruction of evidence to prevent seizure. The sentence was announced by Christopher P. Canova, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
At trial, the government presented evidence that, between January 2014, and October 2014, Goodfleisch received and possessed child pornography, including videos depicting images of minors less than 12 years of age engaged in sex acts. An undercover law enforcement officer discovered and downloaded files containing child pornography from a public sharing network that could be traced to Goodfleisch’s computer. After agents executed a search warrant at Goodfleish’s residence, a forensic analysis of his computer’s hard drive revealed numerous images and videos of child pornography. During the execution of the federal search warrant,
Goodfleisch remotely accessed his computer using a cellular telephone and destroyed, or attempted to destroy, the contents contained on his computer.
United States Attorney Canova stated, “Protecting children from online exploitation is a top priority for this office, the Department of Justice, and our many law enforcement partners. Tragically, it is easy for child predators to access reprehensible content via the Internet.”
“Because of HSI special agent’s investigative authorities, along with our law enforcement partnerships, like with the Pensacola Police Department, this predator will now be behind bars – making our communities safer,” said Susan L. McCormick, Special Agent in Charge of HSI Tampa.

If hackers can shut down power grids, nuclear reactor cooling systems, access and destroy encrypted files ect, then why can America’s cyber forces not attack the distributors of this abominable thing.
There is a game being played and it is my impression that victory is not the goal, but the continuation and prolonging of the fight. No crime, no crime fighting requirement and financial allocations?
If you can’t beat this stuff, how do you expect to defeat our enemies in the cyber war arena…
Great! Good job, LEOs! Glad that the courts handed out a decent sentence; this guys predation extended far beyond his own little world.
