In a statement, the U.S. District Attorney’s office said that Inman “received and saved many videos of child sexual abuse material (CSAM)” that “depicted adults sexually assaulting young children” between August and October 2024.
By pretending to be the father of a nine-year-old boy whom Inman had showed interest in sexually abusing, he reportedly forwarded these pictures to an undercover police officer.
The complaint claims that as FBI investigators searched his house, he tried to erase the evidence and hid in the attic.
Inman faces a minimum sentence of five years in federal prison for the offense of transporting child sex abuse material. He might spend up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

The complaint alleges that Inman received and stored many recordings of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on his phone between August and October of 2024. These movies showed small children being sexually assaulted by adults.

Every defendant is deemed innocent unless and until proven guilty, and a criminal complaint is only a formal accusation that a person has violated one or more federal criminal laws.
The FBI conducted an investigation into this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Richard Varadan is prosecuting the case.
