Federal Court: Florida Man Guilty of Soliciting Child Pornography
In a disturbing case of child exploitation, Cameron Eagle, a 35-year-old Florida man, pleaded guilty to soliciting child pornography in federal court yesterday.
According to court records, on May 9, 2020, Eagle used Cash App to pay a 14-year-old girl in Maine to engage in sexually explicit conduct while he watched via livestream over the chat website Omegle. The child, who resided in Cumberland County, was coerced into making several payments on that date, as well as on other dates in May and June 2020.
Financial records revealed that Eagle made several payments to the child on that date, and that he made other similar payments in small denominations to other Cash App accounts on the same day, as well as on other dates in May and June 2020.
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, the Martin County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office, and Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case, with assistance from the Fort Pierce office of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Cameron Eagle will face federal sentencing for his crimes.
Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
