A self proclaimed “LGBTQ” activist and Democratic Party official was arrested earlier this month on charges of sharing child pornography with an undercover police officer.
According to reports, child sex abuse charges have been filed against 39-year-old Matthew Inman by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida. He’s accused of receiving and saving numerous videos of “child sexual abuse material,” including videos showing adults sexually abusing young children.
In October 2024, Inman traveled to Las Vegas to meet with who he thought was the father of a 9-year-old boy, but was actually an undercover officer. He told the “father” that he was interested in meeting and having sexual relations with the child. In addition, he sent child porn to the undercover officers as well.
“The FBI obtained a search warrant for Inman’s electronic devices and residence. During the execution of the search warrant, Inman attempted to delete the evidence from his phone and hide in the attic of his house,” read the press release.
Inman served as the treasurer for the Orange County Democratic Party, as well as the president of LGBTQ activist group “Rainbow Democrats”.
The Rainbow Democrats claim they’re “shocked” by the charges against Inman. They stated, “We offer our condolences to any victims of child sexual abuse and hope justice will be served to the fullest extent of the law.”
The group’s board of directors revealed, “We have suspended Mr. Inman from the Caucus. He has no acting role in any capacity with the organization as of now. He will be officially removed at our next general meeting.”
“The Rainbow Democrats are working to move beyond this horrible incident to continue our service to the community,” they added.
