FDLE Arrests Molino Man On Child Porn Charges

September 13, 2018

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has arrested a Molino man on multiple child pornography charges.

FDLE agents arrested Steven Ryan Godwin, 36, of 3512 Highway 97,  for 20 counts of possession of child pornography.

In August, FDLE agents received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that a suspect was uploading child porn to another user on Facebook. Authorities were able to trace the uploads to an address in Molino.

Agents obtained a search warrant that was served at his residence Wednesday. When the occupants of the home were exiting, Godwin continued to reach towards his waistband before dropping a LG cell phone, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.  The phone was seized and contained child pornography images featuring children under the age of 10, with multiple images including children younger than two years old, according to FDLE.

Godwin was arrested yesterday and booked into the Escambia County Jail with no bond. Additional charges are dependent upon completion of forensic exams.

The arrest affidavit does not indicate if FDLE believes any of the children are local.

    As sick as this story is lets let this guy get convicted before we get out the torches and pitchforks. Always remember there is a difference between arrested and convicted. Anyone who has been falsely arrested just to have the charges dropped will tell you this.

    The torches and pitchforks will be close at hand for when he is convicted. Until then let the guy get a fair trial.
