Beulah man charged with 20 counts of child pornography released on bail: NorthEscambia.com

A 50-year-old man arrested last month by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on 20 counts of child pornography has been released from jail on bail.

Charles “Billy” Danielson was charged with 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material and use of a two-way communication device to facilitate a crime.

According to court records, Danielson was released from the Escambia County Jail after posting $210,000 bail and pleading not guilty.

Danielson has also filed a motion to remove the GPS monitoring requirement from his bail conditions.

According to FDLE, 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 executed a search warrant at Danielson's residence and seized several electronic devices for examination. Agents said they found numerous images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of male and female children, some of whom were infants and toddlers.

Danielson is due back in court at the end of November; the trial is currently scheduled for December.
