Beulah Man Pleads To 10 Charges Of Possession Of Child Sexaul Abuse Materials

July 31, 2026

A Beulah man has pleaded no contest under a plea agreement to multiple counts of possession of child sexual abuse materials brought by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in July 2024.

Charles “Billy” Danielson, now 52, was originally charged with 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse materials and one count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.

According to court records, Danielson pleaded straight up to 10 counts of possession of child sexual abuse materials, while 10 counts will be dropped, along with the two-way communications device charge.

When he is sentenced in October, he faces a maximum of 127.5 months (10.625 years) in state prison with no limit on the probation period to be imposed. He had faced a maximum sentence of 305 years. He will be designated as a sexual offender for life.

FDLE said the investigation began in February 2024 after agents received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a Snapchat user uploading images of child pornography.

On July 10, 2024, agents served a search warrant at Danielson’s residence and seized multiple electronic devices for examination. Agents said they found numerous images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of male and female children, some as young as infants and toddlers.

    10yrs for a pedo is a crying shame.. This guy comes from money & sweetheart deals like this is just another example of the corruption in our court system. There’s no rehabilitation for a mental sickness like this.. absolutely disgusting

    Obviously, I do not know the details of the case, but, if he could possibly get 305 years why would you let him off with 10.625 years? He really should not be out in society today. He will do less than 10 years and will be out to reoffend again. At 62 years old or younger he will have the ability to reoffend again. Who will be the next victim?

    These sex offenders are not going to change in their lifetime. That alone should be what their sentencing is about. Not plea deals. We have far too many of these sick people here. AI is alive and well, they can continue feeding their demons, real or fake. Put them somewhere where they can’t!

    This proof the Court System is Broken. Because this man has got 50K in lawyers. They used every loophole possible to prolong his case for 2yrs. And the state attorney just wants a conviction. So they drop over half the charges. Including a Violation of Parole. And he will need up with a slap on the wrist. People don’t know how sick and disgusting this man is. He has 20 charges for images sexual abuse of a child. And that’s because the investigators stopped counting at 20, saying they had enough evidence on him. This guy will be back on the streets in no time. And who knows if your child maybe his next victim

    There’s a special pace in Hell for this type of person. God Bless the innocent children. And hold this lowest of dirt bags accountable!

    What do you want to bet he won’t serve all 10.6 years…
    Don’t think his fellow inmates will be too happy with him.
