6.17.26 Press Conference - Sheriff Gualtieri Announces Arrest of Seminole Man

Sheriff Bob Gualtieri held a press conference today announcing the arrest of John David Ballard on twenty counts of Possession of Child Pornography and five counts of Sexual Activity Involving Animals. “This is really a very difficult case because it involves the betrayal of the trust that the child welfare system puts into people who volunteer to help the most vulnerable among us; and those are children who have been abused, abandoned and neglected.” – Sheriff Gualtieri
