MOSSY HEAD MAN ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION AND TRANSMISSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
WALTON COUNTY, FLA— A 20-year-old Mossy Head man is facing more than 20 charges related to the possession and transmission of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
The arrest follows a search warrant done by the Walton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Bureau Cyber Crimes Unit early Wednesday morning on Honeysuckle Street in Mossy Head.
The search warrant was the result of an extensive investigation into a tips sent to our agency from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding a social media user who actively sought out, downloaded, and sent CSAM.
The username and email led investigators to Kadyn DeWayne Ainsworth. It was discovered that Ainsworth had been seeking out CSAM on various platforms before downloading and even distributing the material to other users that included children from 4-10 years old.
Ainsworth also asked for videos to include incestual topics and age ranges of 10-16 years old asking, “not too young bc I like to see them feel and know what’s happening yk.”
He faces 10 counts of possession of child pornography, 10 counts of transmitting child pornography, and one count of using a two-way communication device in the commission of a felony. Following his arrest, Ainsworth was given an $85,000 bond and is still incarcerated at the time of this release.
