Walton County Man Arrested for Possession of Child Pornography

TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced a Walton County man has been taken into custody and will be charged with possession of child pornography. Christian Tyler Skapczynski, 19, was arrested earlier today by law enforcement with the Attorney General’s CyberCrime Unit after investigators discovered Skapczynski had multiple images of child pornography in his possession.

CyberCrime investigators located images of child pornography during a routine investigation and traced the images back to Skapczynski’s computer. A search warrant was executed at his DeFuniak Springs home where two computers and other media were seized. The items removed from the home will undergo forensic analysis to identify any additional images of child pornography. An initial review of his computers revealed multiple images of child pornography, some of children as young as three years old.

Skapczynski was booked into the Walton County Jail and will be charged with 20 count of possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony which will be enhanced to a second-degree felony under the CyberCrimes Against Children Act. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office and the DeFuniak Springs Police Department assisted with the investigation and arrest.
