Carl David Innmon, 50, Indicted for Alleged Receipt and Possession of Child Pornography in Austin

A federal grand jury in Austin, Texas, has returned an indictment charging Carl David Innmon, a fifth-grade teacher in the city, with two counts related to his alleged receipt and possession of child pornography.

According to an affidavit filed in the court documents, Carl David Innmon allegedly downloaded multiple batches of downloads via BitTorrent between Dec. 29, 2024, and Jan. 15, 2025. The alleged downloads contained a total of 126 files that depict an image of a child engaging in sexual conduct or sexual performance.

The children in three of the downloaded files, the affidavit alleges, include an infant and two girls between the ages of four and seven. A search warrant was conducted on Innmon’s residence, leading to the seizure of a smartphone, a laptop, and a portable hard drive.

A forensic analysis of these items cumulatively revealed 365,797 files of Child Sexual Abuse Material. Innmon is charged with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of receipt of child pornography. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Investigating the case is the Texas Department of Public Safety (TX DPS) Criminal Investigations Division (CID) with assistance from the Austin Independent School District and AISD Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Grant Sparks is prosecuting the case.

The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006.
