TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced a Baker County man has been taken into custody and will be charged with multiple counts of possession of child pornography. Randall W. Lyons, 43, was arrested by law enforcement with the Attorney General’s CyberCrime Unit after investigators discovered Lyons had numerous images of child pornography in his possession. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office assisted with the arrest.

CyberCrime investigators located images of child pornography during a routine investigation and traced the images back to Lyons’ computer. A search warrant was executed at his MacClenny home in early October where one laptop was seized. The item removed from the home underwent forensic analysis which revealed multiple images of child pornography, including some of children as young as one year old.

Lyons will be booked into the Duval County Jail and will be charged with 22 counts of possession of child pornography, five of which are enhanced to a second-degree felony under the CyberCrimes Against Children Act of 2007. The remaining counts will be third-degree felony charges. The agencies involved are all members of the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
