Jarred Pearce

PEARCE ARREST REPORT

An 18-year old on probation for two counts of possession of child pornography has now been charged with solicitation of a minor for sex, extortion, use of a two way communication device to commit a felony, and violation of probation.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jarred Pearce October 4th after the 15-year old victim and her father reported he was extorting the girl online for nude photos. The victim said she and Pearce were fiends on the Snapchat app and he began asking for nude pictures. She sent images of herself in a bikini and in a sports bra and shorts. She says Pearce said he would begin sending out those pictures to people she knew if she did not send nude ones. He then continued to pressure her to the point she began having anxiety attacks.

An OCSO investigator got permission to take over the victim’s Snapchat account October 3rd.

Pearce made contact with who he thought was the victim that same day. During the course of the conversation he admitted to blackmailing the girl for nude images and also solicited her for sex.

Pearce, whose terms of probation included no unsupervised use of the internet or his cell phone, was taken to the Okaloosa County Jail in Crestview.
