Florida Attorney General James Usmeyer announced that 21-year-old Cudjo Keyman has been arrested and charged in an investigation involving child sexual abuse materials and animal sexual abuse materials.
Jacob Lukey faces multiple charges, including promoting, possessing, and transmitting child sexual abuse material, soliciting child sexual abuse material, producing altered sexual images, producing child sexual abuse material, and promoting animal sexual abuse material.
“The trade in material that involves the sexual exploitation of children and animals is what perpetuates a sick market for this material,” Usmayer said. “We demand the fullest punishment of the law for the predators who perpetuate this abusive trade.”
The investigation began after the Broward County Sheriff’s Office received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to the Attorney General’s Office. According to the information, Rookie possessed, viewed and transmitted child sexual abuse material through Snapchat.
Investigators said the Broward County Sheriff’s Office identified Rookie through his IP address and determined the case fell under the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Florida Keys Region.
FDLE subsequently obtained subpoenas and search warrants, and authorities said they had uncovered communications involving the purchase and sale of child sexual abuse material and animal sexual abuse material. Investigators also said Rookie solicited minors to send child sexual abuse material and posed as an underage girl in many of his communications.
The rookie was arrested following an investigation. If convicted as charged, he faces up to 100 years in prison in the Florida Department of Corrections.
The attorney general’s office said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be filed.
Assistant State Attorney Jillian Tate will prosecute the case in Florida’s 16th Judicial Circuit.
Earlier this year, Rookey received a People’s Pride Award for performing CPR on a man in emergency at the Wyland Gallery, where he worked.
