ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. –
On January 26, a detective from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a CyberTip linked to several communications on platform X between December 14, 2025, and January 1, 2026. The tip included a photo of a nude pre-pubescent girl, and X provided additional media files, messages, and chats from the reported account.
The account in question was involved in various conversations about sharing child images and videos. The suspect, who claimed to be an adult female, openly stated having no age restrictions. The account allegedly distributed child pornography, including photos of a preschool-aged child whom the suspect claimed to have access to in real life.
Concerned for the child’s safety, the detective quickly issued an emergency subpoena to trace the IP addresses connected to these chats. The internet account was reportedly linked to a relative of an individual named Johnson. However, multiple adults were associated with this address, complicating the detective’s efforts to identify a single suspect.
Comparison of lists of phone numbers associated with several mobile IP addresses produced a single phone number that appeared on each list, and the name on that account was “Trinity Johnson.”
The detective made contact with Johnson at a relative’s home on January 29, and she was interviewed at the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.
Post Miranda, Johnson reportedly said that she is “into a lot of kinks that normal people would look down on”; when asked about the age of the youngest child in the photos she had sent, she reportedly said “seven,” but she later changed it to “four.”
Johnson reportedly admitted to sending child pornography 20-30 times, with images of about 10 different children. When asked about the preschool child, Johnson reportedly denied having or sending any photos of the child; when she continued to insist that she didn’t know anything about the images of the preschool child, law enforcement left the room.
A short time later, Johnson reportedly knocked on the door and said she remembered taking a photo of the child for the purpose of showing the child’s mother some redness under the child’s diaper.
As the detective continued to ask questions, Johnson eventually admitted to sending the photo out multiple times in chats, but she said it was because “when she’s in the mood, a photo is a photo.” Johnson eventually claimed ownership of the photos of the preschool child and said that she took them “because she had the opportunity.”
Johnson has been charged with 64 counts of possession of child pornography, 10 counts of soliciting child pornography, two counts of creating child pornography, and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communications device. Judge Meshon Rawls set bail at $1,925,000.
