PANAMA CITY — A Lynn Haven man has been arrested after violating his sex offender probation for possessing child pornography, according to court documents.
Darius L. Goodin, 51, was arrested Tuesday after violating the terms of his sex offender probation. Goodin was originally charged for possessing 15 videos and one picture of child pornography on his computer. He pleaded no contest to eight counts of possession of sexual performance of a child.
Bay County Sheriff’s Office investigators in February determined Goodin had been downloading and sharing child pornography on the Internet using peer-to-peer software from his home at 1402 Mississippi Ave. When investigators gained a search warrant Feb. 14, Goodin told them he frequently downloaded pornography but not child pornography, according to arrest records.
Goodin’s computer and external hard drive was sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for forensic examination, where investigators found 15 videos and one picture that were “notable child pornography files,” investigators reported.
Information on how Goodin allegedly violated his eight years of probation was not available Wednesday.
