The Daytona Beach man reportedly admitted to police that he has a weakness for child porn and that he downloaded and viewed child pornography on numerous occasions and that he shared those files with other users on peer-to-peer file-sharing. Police say that found an estimated 150 suspected videos of child pornography in their search of his home and computers. As Lynn was being escorted through the police department, he is quoted as saying “The child porn I was downloading was only of kids I didn’t know. None of them are real. I don’t make my own videos, I promise. Maybe we can work this out since they are not local girls.”
What is interesting is that Lynn was charged with not just 18 counts of possession of photos of sexual performance by a child but two counts of promotion of sexual performance by a child. It is not clear what the basis for the first two charges are. The statute stated “A person is guilty of promoting a sexual performance by a child when, knowing the character and content thereof, he or she produces, directs, or promotes any performance which includes sexual conduct by a child less than 18 years of age.” The news accounts speak only of sharing and possessing such pornographic material.
His bond was set at $210,000.
