Escambia Man Gets 30 Years For Child Porn

October 12, 2023

An Escambia County man has been sentenced to 30 years on state prison on child porn charges.

Brandon Lee Stafford pleaded to 15 counts of possession of certain images of child pornography, and he was designated a sexual offender by Circuit Judge Linda Nobles.

On February 24, 2022, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at the Stafford’s residence in the course of an economic crime investigation. During that investigation, it was determined that he was in possession of child sexual abuse material on his electronic devices, according to prosecutors. That investigation was then turned over to the Special Victim’s Unit at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

“This defendant had over 700 images of child pornography on his computer when it was seized by the Sheriff’s Department,” prosecuting attorney Carrie Gilmer said. “The child pornography found on the defendant’s devices was extremely disturbing and some of the worst that the investigator has come across in this type of case. This sentence will help protect the community and children in the future.”

    Jim I get it. I don’t need to look anything up, but really? The way it was worded was terrible. I get that she was referring to the different punishments given these two people.

    I knew him when he was a kid. What a piece of garbage he grew up to be. I hope he makes friends in jail.

    Trish the comment about the handicapped child is in reference to the mother who killed her handicapped daughter in a hospital setting and only received a year in prison.

    How about the teenager that shot the other one near the bowling alley on 9 mile? The shooter wasn’t’ even charged with attempted murder original only after people complained did the charges get upgraded.

    Seems like our justice system here in NWF is getting woke. CP heinous crime hang’em high. Child murder not so bad. You kids better straighten up lol.

    Just read the story on the Mother, Killing her special needs child, got 1 year sentence. The next story this Jerk, (I am trying to stay calm) got 30 years for for Child Porn. How does the Court System get so far off on the penalties vs the crime. They both should have received 50 years to life.

    Public hangings in back of the courthouse should be brought back.

    He picked the wrong crime against our innocent children
    instead of just looking at young girls he could of picked a handicapped one and killed her and only did one year !
