A Florida Democratic Party official is accused of possessing videos of children being sexually abused by adults and attempting to arrange a meet-up with an undercover cop posing as the father of a nine-year-old potential victim, prosecutors said.
Matthew Inman, who advertises his role as the Orange County Democratic Party treasurer and Rainbow Democrats president on his LinkedIn page, was arrested and charged with transportation of child sex abuse material earlier this month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Middle District of Florida said in a news release.
The 39-year-old Orange County Florida man also boasts of being a Democrat National Committee (DNC) delegate, as well as a member of the” LGBTQ+” community in his Instagram bio.
The criminal complaint alleges that Inman received and saved “several videos” of child sex abuse material (CSAM) depicting “adults sexually assaulting young children” between August and October 2024.
That October, he traveled to Las Vegas and allegedly began communicating online with an undercover law enforcement officer who said he had a nine-year-old son.
During his conversation with the cop, Inman “expressed interest in meeting and sexually assaulting the purported child” and sent CSAM material, prosecutors said.
