Beulah Man Arrested On 30 Child Porn Charges

May 10, 2018

A Beulah man was arrested on 30 child pornography charges Wednesday after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement executed a search warrant at his home.

Matthew George Andrew Roesgen was charged with 23 counts of possession of child pornography  and seven counts of transmission of child pornography. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday with bond set at $300,000.

An investigator with the Pensacola Police Department discovered numerous child porn videos on a file sharing application and traced them to Roesgen’s home computer network, according to an arrest report. The videos depicted both male and female children as young as one to three-years old, according to FDLE.

FDLE reported that Roesgen’s computer contained 126 child sexual abuse images.

FDLE and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at Roesgen’s residence at 8435 Ferlon Avenue Wednesday morning and reported finding multiple child porn videos on a computer in his office.

During an interview at his home, FDLE said Roesgen requested a lawyer.

    How sick and disgusting for this man to be involved in such pathetic and horrible behavior as what was described in this news article and talked about in the area by many concerned in the community and nearby. He was a registered nurse and he was married. Many people in the military community and nearby said he was married to another nurse practitioner-Cathaleen Roesgen and living together at the same address for many years. Some feel she had to have known about this or had some suspicion being married and living with this mentally deranged individual for many years and using the same home computer. Everyone in the area wonders how much she knew at the time and may still know…She works on a base in Escambia County as from what everyone has heard, there have been many concerned people in the community as well as military families. Everyone’s safety is most important.

    How does someone get like that? Does he have a wife and kids?

    A man with the same name and address is listed as a registered nurse on a Florida-registered-medical-professionals website. I pray these weren’t local children that were his patients.

    np630ss, it says in the article

    “An investigator with the Pensacola Police Department discovered numerous child porn videos on a file sharing application and traced them to Roesgen’s home computer network, according to an arrest report”

    I sure hope this sicko goes to jail for a long time.

    No630ss, we are ALL under surveillance!

    Needs to have his eyes cut out and his hands cut off. Disgraceful

    This man should be put away for a very, VERY long time. I am curious as to how the LEO’s came to discover he had this material. Was he under surveillance?

    “…children as young as one to three-years old…”

    This is beyond sick!
