A
Democratic Party official from Florida was arrested on federal child pornography charges.
Matthew Inman, 39, was charged with transportation of child sex abuse material on January 17, according to the US Attorney’s Office, Middle District of
Florida.
Inman served as treasurer for the Orange County Democratic Party and as president of the
LGBTQ activist group Rainbow Democrats.
Investigators said Inman had videos on his phone of children being sexually abused and shared them while trying to procure sex from a young boy.
'Between August and October of 2024, Inman received and saved several videos of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to his phone. These videos depicted adults sexually assaulting young children,' the US Attorney's Office said.
Inman allegedly shared the videos of adults raping young boys with an undercover law enforcement officer he met online while he was visiting
Las Vegas in October 2024.
'During this conversation, Inman expressed interest in meeting and sexually assaulting the purported child. He also sent CSAM videos to the undercover officer,' said the US Attorney's Office.
Officials connected the account to Inman and claimed he tried to wipe the videos from his devices while they searched his home.
