Fox News reports:
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the middle district of Florida charged Inman with the transportation of child sexual abuse material. Authorities say Inman received and saved several videos “depicting adults sexually abusing young children.”
“In October 2024, Inman traveled to Las Vegas and began talking online with an undercover law enforcement officer posing as the father of a 9-year-old boy. During this conversation, Inman expressed interest in meeting and sexually assaulting the purported child. He also sent [child sexual abuse material] videos to the undercover officer,” the attorney’s office added.
The FBI soon obtained a search warrant for Inman’s house, and authorities say the suspect tried to delete videos from his phone as he hid from officers in the attic of his home.
Rainbow Democrats issued a public statement on social media just days after Inman’s arrest, saying they were “shocked.”
“The Rainbow Democrats are shocked to hear about the allegations against Matthew Inman. We offer our condolences to any victims of child sexual abuse and hope justice will be served to the fullest extent of the law,” the group wrote.
“We have suspended Mr. Inman from the Caucus. He has no acting role in any capacity within our organization. He will be officially removed at our next general meeting. The Rainbow Democrats are working to move beyond this horrible incident to continue our service to the community,” it added.
