Gainesville, FL – A 26-year-old Alachua County resident faces 77 serious felony charges after investigators traced illegal child sexual abuse material to her social media account, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.
The arrest of Trinity Johnson occurred on Thursday, January 29, 2026, following a tip received earlier in the week. On Monday, January 26, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office/Gainesville Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force received a CyberTip reporting a subject sharing illegal material online.
Using advanced investigative techniques, ASO Detective J. Finch identified the content as linked to a social media account belonging to Johnson, an Alachua County resident. Further inquiry revealed Johnson had a personal connection to one of the victims shown in the material, heightening concerns about potential ongoing risk to children.
Law enforcement located Johnson at a residence in northwest Alachua on Thursday. After questioning by Detective Finch, she was taken into custody and transported to the Alachua County Jail. She is being held on a $1,925,000 bond.
Johnson faces charges including:
- 64 counts of Distribution of Child Pornography
- 10 counts of Possession of Child Pornography
- 2 counts of Manufacturing Child Pornography
- 1 count of Use of a Two-Way Communication Device to Facilitate a Felony
The total adds up to 77 felony counts related to the possession, manufacturing, and online sharing of child sexual abuse material. Reports indicate the material included images Johnson allegedly produced, such as nude photos of a toddler that were distributed online.
The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office emphasized its commitment to transparency and to treating child exploitation crimes with utmost seriousness. Authorities stated this remains an active investigation, and no additional details will be released at this time to preserve the case’s integrity.
The ICAC Task Force, a collaborative effort involving local, state, and federal agencies, continues to prioritize online child protection through tips from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and specialized digital forensics.
