Florida Church Youth Volunteer Arrested on Child Pornography Counts After Home Search

Detectives say the probe began with an NCMEC tip, with additional counts still possible.

Overview

  • Jordan Joseph Williams, 28, was taken into custody in Spring Hill and charged with 35 counts of child pornography possession, possession of a child-like sex doll, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
  • Deputies executed a Sept. 26 search warrant at a home on Argyll Drive and reported finding multiple items of evidence, including a child-like sex doll.
  • Williams admitted owning the flagged account and told investigators he used a popular social media platform to access and view links to child sexual-abuse material.
  • Williams is being held without bond as investigators continue reviewing digital evidence and consider further charges.
  • VineLife Church said Williams served as a volunteer in its teen ministry, not an employee, noted a current background check, and pledged full cooperation with law enforcement; the sheriff asked the public to share tips with Hernando County Crime Stoppers.
