Jackson County, Fla. — A Marianna man is behind bars after investigators say child sexual abuse material was found on a cell phone.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, John Wilson was arrested following an investigation that uncovered images and videos involving young children. Authorities say Wilson was already on sex offender probation at the time, and evidence confirmed he was the primary user of the device.
Wilson is charged with 15 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communications device. He was taken into custody without incident.
“Cases like this are deeply concerning and will not be tolerated,” Sheriff Donnie Edenfield said. “We are committed to protecting children in our community and will hold those responsible fully accountable.”
Officials say Homeland Security Investigations and the Florida Department of Corrections Probation and Parole assisted in the case.
During his first appearance, Wilson was issued a $385,000 bond.
