Domestic Violence Arrested Leads FDLE To Charge Man For Child Porn

June 4, 2026

A 44-year-old Escambia County man has been charged with 20 child porn counts.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Ronnie Cooper, 44, for possession of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. The arrest is part of FDLE’s statewide initiative to identify and apprehend offenders who target children and share files depicting child sexual abuse.

In March 2026, agents received Cybertips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), reporting that an unknown user uploaded over 1,300 files containing images depicting the sexual abuse of children. Agents traced the associated IP address to Cooper’s residence and identified Cooper as the user of the account.

While under investigation by FDLE, Cooper was arrested on April 29 for a domestic violence battery charge by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Cooper allegedly got into a physical altercation with his girlfriend when he was discovered viewing child sexual abuse material on his laptop.

Agents obtained an arrest warrant for Cooper for 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse materials and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device. The warrant was served on Cooper in jail the same day.

Cooper remains in the Escambia County Jail with bod set at $213,000.

    ” Grandma” You are 100% correct. A demonic spirit running rampid in our country/World.
    “Beulah Boy” Yes our Leo’s are doing a great job catching these perverts but there are just so many out there. I don’t know how they keep their minds clear having to deal with all the perversion that they have to sift through. I respect them tremendously.

    And people wonder why I don’t trust a soul with my kids.
    These people are sick and awful.

    The pedo problem is everywhere…. it is just our LEO’s step up and catch them. We are very lucky to have all of the LEO”s and agencies here to help protect us.

    Hats off to all of them.

    “Why?” you ask. It’s not a porn problem. It’s a SIN problem. Human strength and determination cannot break the addiction. The stronghold must be broken by faithful surrender to Jesus Christ.
