A federal judge in Nassau County has sentenced Troy Lyn Everett, 63, of Georgia, to 15 years in federal prison for attempted production of child sexual abuse material. Everett pleaded guilty to the charge in March 2025. In addition to the prison term, he will serve a 10-year term of supervised release and is required to register as a sex offender.
According to court records, in 2024, Everett communicated with a Nassau County Sheriff’s Office undercover detective who was posing as a 14-year-old child on an online messaging application. During these communications, Everett engaged in sexually explicit messages and expressed a desire to have sex with the individual he believed to be a child.
Everett traveled from his Georgia residence, biking over an hour to an Atlanta bus station before purchasing a ticket to Jacksonville. Upon his arrival, he was arrested. Everett admitted to traveling for sex and to making repeated requests for sexually explicit photos and videos from a person he believed to be 14 years old.
The investigation was a collaborative effort by Homeland Security Investigations, the Northeast Florida Intercept Task Force, and the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney John Cannizzaro prosecuted the case.
This case falls under Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. Everett’s mug shot from his October 2024 booking in the Nassau County Jail & Detention Center was released, and he is now booked in Baker County.
