Federal court documents released this week reveal Clint Williamson is charged with two counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Child & Attempted Sexual Exploitation of a Child, along with Distributing Child Pornography.

A criminal complaint filed in Federal Court shows Williamson was arrested Wednesday following a FBI investigation out of Maryland for a website that was built for the purpose of advertising and distributing child pornography.  Court documents reveal the website wasn’t accessible through a typical search engine online, and was only accessible through a special type of computer network.

Investigators were able to develop Williamson as a suspect in connection to the website using pictures of him that were involved in the content that was being shared.  The criminal complaint goes on to explain Williamson admitted to using a 2-year-old relative to make sexually explicit videos he shared via Skype with a couple in Georgia through the website.

The alleged crimes Williamson is tied to happened between October 2102 and December 2013.  The Georgia couple involved in the video sharing have also been arrested.  Investigators were able to obtain a search warrant for Williamson’s home in December, leading up to the federal charges filed against him this week.

The criminal complaint also shows Williamson handed over several hand written journals in his possession that described himself as “a monster”, and stated he cannot believe what he has done and that he has done things that he cannot even get himself to write down.
