FDLE Arrests Escambia Man For Soliciting A Minor, Dozens Of Child Porn Counts
January 20, 2022
An Escambia County man was arrested Wednesday on child sex crimes.
Scott Alexander Chappelear, 40, was charged with 30 counts possession of obscene material depicting child sexual abuse, use of a computer to solicit a minor, six counts of transmission of harmful material to a minor, and use of a two-way communication device to commit a felony.
FDLE began its investigation in August 2021. An undercover agent, posing as a 14-year old female, began communicating with Chappelear, who tried to coax the “child” into performing sexual acts and sent adult pornography, according to the agency.
“Chappelear indicated that he was 40-years old and was ok with the child persona’s age of 14,” an arrest report states.
FDLE said Chappelear also agreed to meet the person he thought was a 14-year old girl at Shoreline Park in Gulf Breeze.
A search warrant was served Wednesday at his home at 8126 Crystal Wells Place, off East Olive Road. Agents found dozens of child sexual abuse material photos with some children as young as one to three years of age on two of his cell phones, according to the report.
Chappelear was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.
Escambia and Okaloosa county sheriff’s offices assisted FDLE with the arrest.

Well now I know why my new paper is not being delivered.
Ain’t your family proud…..
He’s an imp from the abyss. Caught red-handed. He has no place to run but to the depths he slithered up from. Inmates will use him for a punching bag. Well deserved. Pathetic louse.
Great job FDLE!! God bless you!
This person has got to be aware of others getting arrested and going to jail for exactly the same thing!!!!! But luckily he isn’t smart and the will to be a pedophile is greater than common sense. When the boys in prison find you out it’s too late!!!!! GOODBYE
Your future has a certain out come where you are ultimately headed…… Hope you keep those googled eyes on a swivel…
That certain look
If they found the images on his personal devices then go ahead and sentence him now…I can’t put on here the sentence he needs but y’all already know. Sick and twisted individual right here…needs extermination and with a quickness.
Notice he is not looking straight at camera.
Pray he spends a looooooong time in jail.
deplorable
Good point William.
That’s one more taken care of. Thank God. He will get his just reward one day when he least expects it. Hope and Pray he changes while in prison.
Good job LEO’S!!!! Anyone who has children that have been in contact with this creep should have a serious conversation with their children, I’m sure he has victims out there, because a person doesn’t decide to suddenly become a pedophile in their 40’s.
