PENSACOLA, FL — A 35-year-old Pensacola man is facing dozens of felony charges after state law enforcement agents traced an upload of more than 1,500 files containing child sexual abuse material directly to his residence, authorities announced.
Robert Demarcus King II was arrested following the execution of a residential search warrant on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. He faces 20 counts of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), which are second-degree felonies, and one count of Unlawful Use of a Two-Way Communication Device, a third-degree felony.
NCMEC Cybertip Sparks Investigation
The investigation was initiated in June 2026 by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) after agents intercepted a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
The tip flagged an unknown user who had uploaded over 1,500 illicit files depicting the sexual abuse of children. FDLE cyber-investigators traced the IP address associated with the massive upload directly to King’s residence, formally identifying him as the primary user of the account.
Devices Seized During Coordinated Raid
On July 21, FDLE agents, supported by a multi-agency task force, executed a search warrant at King’s address.
Investigators seized multiple electronic devices from the home and conducted an on-scene forensic preview. The preliminary analysis confirmed King as the owner of the suspect account and revealed he had utilized a mobile messaging application to obtain and distribute the illicit files.
According to authorities, some of the recovered files depicted the severe sexual abuse of female children as young as toddlers.
Task Force Collaboration: The successful execution of the search warrant relied on a coordinated effort between the FDLE’s Special Operations Team, the Office of Agriculture Law Enforcement, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, First Judicial Circuit. The FDLE noted that the investigation remains active.
