A 19-year-old Palm Coast man was charged with two counts of promoting sexual performances of a child after investigators from the FBI and the Florida Attorney General’s Office, assisted by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, executed a search warrant Tuesday, on a Palm Coast home.
Tristan Lancaster, of 32 Pebble Stone Lane, was arrested following an investigation by the State Attorney General’s Child Predator Cybercrime Unit, which was launched in December 2010. Investigators reported that on at least one occasion in December, child pornography was downloaded from the Internet to a computer at 8 Fanwood Court.
Investigators obtained a search warrant for the home and seized the computer Tuesday morning. Two videos were found depicting child pornography, according to a press release Tuesday by the Sheriff's Office.
Lancaster, according to the investigators, had lived at the home from mid-November 2010 until mid-March 2011. During an interview at the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division, Lancaster admitted to accessing the videos while staying at the home.
He was being booked Tuesday into the Flagler County Inmate Facility with $20,000 bond on the charges, the report states.
“Law enforcement officials nationwide are going to remain vigilant in tracking and identifying child pornography users and producers,” Sheriff Donald Fleming said Tuesday in a statement. “I am pleased we were able to assist in this case.”
