Former Sheriff's Employee Facing Child Porn Charges

JACKSONVILLE (CBSMiami/AP) — A former Jacksonville sheriff's officer who reportedly paid a woman for pornographic pictures of her three year old daughter has been arrested.

Michael Williams, 59, is charged with seeking, receipt of and possession of child pornography.

Police searched Williams' home in July after receiving a tip that he was uploading child pornography for sharing to Google Drive.

Agents seized Williams' cellphone and a tablet and discovered Williams had been text messaging a woman in Texas, who admitted to sending sexually explicit images of her daughter to Williams in exchange for money.

Williams was hired by the sheriff's office in 1994 and resigned in 2011, citing personal reasons.
