WALTON COUNTY, FLA— A registered sex offender living in Miramar Beach is arrested on child porn charges following a search warrant Wednesday in Walton County.

On November 9th, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office Cyber Crimes Unit received a cyber tip from The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children leading investigators to Brandan Mack, 23, of Preserve Drive in Miramar Beach.

Subpoenas were submitted for Mack’s online drives where it was learned Mack had been storing and sharing child sexual abuse material online. Investigators discovered numerous videos depicting sexual acts of children between the ages of one and thirteen.

December 13th, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at his home and Mack was taken into custody.

The 25 files located as part of the subpoenas are only a sample of the digital evidence located during the residential search warrant. Additional files are of the same egregious nature, and all include pre-pubescent children engaged in sexual conduct.

Mack was arrested and taken to the Walton County Jail where he is charged with 25 counts of possession of child pornography. He was issued a $250,000 bond and is still incarcerated at the time of this release.

Additional charges in this case are expected.
