A sergeant assigned to Eglin Air Force Base has been charged with multiple counts of possession of child pornography after a number of photos and videos were found on electronic devices belonging to him. The images were discovered in May as the result of a search warrant.

EGLIN AFB — A 30-year-old staff sergeant at Eglin Air Force Base has been charged with 14 counts of possession of child pornography after multiple videos and photographs of girls as young as 5 were found on various electronic devices at his Fort Walton Beach apartment.

Staff Sgt. Holden Delton Jacobs was arrested Wednesday by an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office deputy on the felony charges of possession of photographs of sexual performance by a child in connection with the May 3 execution of a search warrant at his apartment. Jail records show Jacobs was released Friday on a $28,000 bond.

An arrest report notes that the images discovered on Jacobs' electronic devices included a minute-long video of a 5- to 7-year-old girl exposing herself, and a 36-second video of a girl of the same age performing oral sex on an adult male.

Among the photographs discovered on Jacobs' devices were two images of girls between 6 and 8 years of age, one of them completely naked and the other naked from the waist down.

According to the arrest report, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office began observing an internet address associated with Jacobs' devices in December of last year, as that address appeared a number of times on law-enforcement computer networks. In February, the First Judicial Circuit's State's Attorney's Office issued a subpoena to Cox Communications, Jacobs' internet service provider, which in March linked the account to what was then Jacobs' physical address. A local judge signed a search warrant on May 2, and a sheriff's deputy went to Jacobs' apartment the next day.

The arrest report notes that Jacobs refused to answer questions in connection with the warrant, but that he also did not ask for a lawyer.

As of Monday afternoon, Jacobs remained on duty at Eglin, where he serves in aircraft maintenance with the 96th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, according to Eglin spokeswoman Ilka Cole.
