Ponte Vedra Beach teen arrested on child porn charges bonds out of jail

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — A teen who was arrested on St. Johns child porn charges appeared Friday morning in court.

Neal Buckles, 19, who is a student at the University of North Florida, was arrested Thursday on two counts of possession of child pornography and one count of transmission of child pornography. More charges against Buckles could be filed later, according to deputies.

The judge ordered Buckles held on a $22,500 bond and ordered Buckles not to use the internet or have unsupervised contact with children. Buckles bonded out of jail early Friday afternoon.

The arrest report obtained by Action News Jax offers graphic details about the type of pictures that Buckles is accused of having in his possession, involving young boys engaging in sexual acts.

Action News Jax checked Buckles' Facebook page, which said he is a student at UNF majoring in child psychology. That Facebook page also showed promotion for Buckles' Babysitters advertising as a sitter as recently as two days ago, with availability for the rest of this month and into October.
