Beulah Man Charged With 20 Child Porn Counts Can Remove GPS Monitor On Bond, Judge Rules
August 31, 2024
A 50-year-old man arrested last month by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on 20 felony child porn counts will remain free on bond and will be allowed to remove his GPS monitor, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Charles “Billy” Danielson was charged July 10 with 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse materials and one count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.
According to court records, Danielson was released from the Escambia County Jail after posting a $210,000 bond and pleading not guilty.
Danielson filed a motion to remove a GPS monitoring requirement from his bond conditions.
Prosecutors did not object to the GPS monitor being removed, and Judge John Simon granted the motion Wednesday. However, Simon additional condition to the bond.
Danielson “must move back to the state of FL by Oct 1st”, according to court documents. A previous pretrial release agreement restricted him to remaining within 100 miles of his residence, but die not directly address leaving the state.
FDLE said the investigation began in February after agents received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a social media user uploading images of child pornography.
On July 10, agents served a search warrant at Danielson’s residence and seized multiple electronic devices for examination. Agents said they found numerous images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of male and female children, some as young as infants and toddlers.
Danielson is due back in court in late November with trial currently set for December.

@JTV…..I stand corrected, sorry, I missed that. Not sure why he was bonded out without a GPS monitor. What is “normal” when accused of something like this? I personally think the GPS monitor is a great idea.
Like or not, these guys are safer in prison than the average person in genpop.
The guy can’t look straight into the camera even after the Officer directs him to would be just one indication that he is deceptive…@Fred. The second would to be captured by State and Federal Authorities with a lot of evidence.
@ Todd “No one just “accidentally” ends up with images of kids on their personal devices, multiple at that.”
You would be surprised. The feds have been known to embed CP into files to set people up. A person could have it and not even know it. Maybe he is guilty, maybe he was set up. Courts will figure that out hopefully. I wonder if the fact he raised multiple foster kids has anything to do with it?
My money wants to be on guilty, but that is not fair until there is a trial and all evidence is brought forward. Between 4chan, discord, 8kun, Kiwifarm and other troll sites, you never know what thumbnail you are clicking on may turn into. The internet is a sick world, unfortunately our government agencies are behind most of the garbage. Eglin AFB has been caught spreading this kind of stuff because they were too dumb to use a vpn or other security measures when it comes to hiding your IP address.
@ Lou, “Prosecutors did not object to GPS monitor being removed”. 5th paragraph down.
@ Just Sayin, exactly. I get so tired of people saying that mess. Used too, yes, it did happen but not anymore because it’s what you said.
@JTV….he hasn’t been before the Prosecutors yet. Not sure why the Judge allowed the GPS monitor removed. I think there needs to be more done to whomever makes the money on the porn. If this filth isn’t available. Not excusing the crime that has been committed.
@Bill T…nothing will happen to him in prison cuz they protect and put guys like him all together and away from the inmates that would hurt them.
I know if convicted and prison is imposed believe this the chances of getting out of prison alive are slim !! Because when these inmates find you out they usually kill !! See they have children too and are no afraid of taking all their grief out on you!!!
This is sickening!!! I hope they let him free and no ankle monitor. That way, no one knows where he was when he disappeared.
Good ol’ boys protecting the good ol’ boys as per usual. No one just “accidentally” ends up with images of kids on their personal devices, multiple at that. AND innocently uploads them to the internet. Not really sure how this could be proven innocent.
No shock here folks. Kids safety is not a thought in the Judges chambers here. Money money money. Simon lets the offenders walk. Pitre hands them the reigns to inflict continued violence. Gee no wonder the offenders keep repeating! There is NO justice.
Queue all the comments regarding the punishment he should receive before he has been found guilty of anything.
Our WEAK Prosecutors and LAZY Judges doing exactly what they do. WEAK AND LAZY and doesn’t care about the public. Just collecting a check
