Former Florida DCF spokesman Thomas Barnes sentenced for child porn

The former district spokesperson for the Department of Children and Families (yes, the same DCF that Sen. Lauren Book wants to train every law enforcement officer on Human Trafficking and that runs our State’s Civil Commitment Center) was sentenced to 2 years in prison.

Thomas Barnes was reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by Yahoo, after he transmitted a photo of a man and a girl. A search warrant led to the discovery of multiple folders containing child pornography on his computer.

Just another reminder that it’s not someone on a list we need to be watching out for.

    Well, if he was sentenced on January 31, 2019 on a plea deal, he was convicted prior to that. Maybe someone can explain why he still IS NOT on the registry???

      My opinion why only he gotten 2 yrs. It is who know that matters, I betcha he get some type of pardon, after those years. Look at Mark lunsford son. He walked away from as ex crime because of who you know. Maybe when Mark passes away. Some State Attorney with a set goes after the son and gets justice
