A Florida Democrat Party treasurer and prominent LGBTQ activist was arrested on CSAM (explicit child sexual abuse material) charges this month after he allegedly shared content with an undercover officer.
Matthew Inman, 39, served as treasurer for the Orange County Democratic Party and also as president of Rainbow Democrats, an LGBTQ activist group. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the middle district of Florida charged Inman with the transportation of child sexual abuse material. Authorities say Inman received and saved several videos “depicting adults sexually abusing young children.”
“In October 2024, Inman traveled to Las Vegas and began talking online with an undercover law enforcement officer posing as the father of a 9-year-old boy. During this conversation, Inman expressed interest in meeting and sexually assaulting the purported child. He also sent [child sexual abuse material] videos to the undercover officer,” the attorney’s office added.
The FBI soon obtained a search warrant for Inman’s house, and authorities say the suspect tried to delete videos from his phone as he hid from officers in the attic of his home.
Rainbow Democrats issued a public statement on social media just days after Inman’s arrest, saying they were “shocked.”
