Cantonment Man Charged With Molesting A Girl Under Age 12
August 29, 2025
A 54-year-old Cantonment man has been charged with molesting a young girl.
John Daniel White of Night Mares Lane was charged with felony lewd or lascivious molestation of a person less than age 12 and lewd or lascivious exhibition with a victim 16 or under. If convicted as charged, he faces up to life in prison.
According to an arrest report, the Florida Department of Children and Families contacted the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office about a sexual battery complaint.
The alleged victim participated in a forensic interview at the Gulf Coast Kid’s House during which the child stated that White would touch her while pleasuring himself, according to the arrest report. “He told her not to tell anyone, or else he would call 911, which made her feel scared,” the report states.
When confronted about the allegations by a Sheriff’s Office investigator, White questioned the validity of the child’s allegations. His wife told deputies that she did not remember a time that White was ever alone with the child, and that he was out of town frequently for work.
The ECSO investigator found probable cause of the charges due to “consistent and detailed disclosure,” the report states.
The report indicates White surrendered at the Escambia County Jail on the charges this week, and he remained in the jail without bond.

Wood. Chipper.
The best comment that I’ve seen in this post- wood chipper!
“Night Mares Lane has always been a public road.”
Night Mares Lane is a private road, not a county/public road.
@Local,
Your memory is wrong. Night Mares Lane has always been a public road.
@B.C.,
Respect would mean reserving all comments and judgment until he is proven guilty or not guilty in a court of law.
Wood chipper.
Disbelieve that any person would ask the children’s family to show the slightest bit of respect. What about respect for the children’s family? What about the children? Im truly and honestly trying not to say what I truly and honestly feel and think and know. I am asking for people to have respect for the family of these children and for respect for these children as they will get older and one day read these same threads. I mean did you not think that their mom,dad,granmother,aunt cousin or uncle may read this ot even comment on this. So, forgive me or not I frankly don’t have one pinch of respect to anything concerning this pedophile.
Two words…. “Smith” and “Wesson”…
Knee cap… Send him to prison…
Problem solved….
@K N – Spend any time on a comment board and you will find people prefer to jump directly from the arrest phase to the sentence phase, bypassing the trial all together.
The NIGHTMARE on Night Mares Lane—sadly this is a made for tv movie title. In light of recent tragedy in Minneapolis when there is an attack or harm done to a juvenile child(ren) by an adult the pedophiles or terrorists should be fast tracked for trial and if convicted permanently removed from this earth. No more excuses or weak judges either we protect the innocent, vulnerable, weak, or elderly or we have no society. There are simply some crime(s) that are too heinous where there is no recovery for the thugs, predators, and terrorists.
From what I remember, Night Mares Ln is named that because there is a horse stable there….It was a private road I think
HE is the main cause of a nightmare that never ends for children who’ve been through what HE DID to this precious child. What “man” thinks he’s going to get away with this? It cannot be erased from a child’s mind. Hopefully, prison will give him nightmares. God bless our children. Escambia County needs to round up these monsters and get rid of them once and for all. We hear about this deadly sin everyday!!
I have known this gentleman for the better part of 30 years. Never seen any type of unacceptable behavior. People are quick to from a opinion with little to no information. Innocent till proven guilty or Guilty till proven innocent ? Please have a little respect for this man’s family.
@concern…..
Castration is not the answer, its all in the brain. The mental thoughts will always be there in perverts minds. Read the medical reports on castration and the mental part of the person was
A search warrant of his computer and devices will help determine the way I would lean for this case. For now, I lean towards the child’s allegations. If guilty he should swing somewhere in front of the Escambia County Courthouse.
These headlines are getting so common around here. Northwest Florida seems to be a breeding ground for child predators. Why???
We read these stories over and over again about this monstrous behavior…and, as often is the case, there are inconsistencies in the stories because bad human behavior underlies their narratives….sexual misconduct, lack of parental diligence, anger, manipulation…never ends.
Castration or Death Penalty and nothing less. Also Cantonment, how about changing that street name, Night Mares Lane
Not trying to make light of an awful disgusting situation but…
How apt is it he lives on Night mares Lane?
