A 64-year-old Palm Coast man, Scott Beverst, was arrested on April 16 by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office for possessing child sexual abuse material. Beverst admitted to detectives that he had been viewing such material since 2001 and preferred 11- to 14-year-old girls. The investigation started in March after the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office tipped off the FCSO about intercepted child abuse videos. Beverst used artificial intelligence to produce explicit images of females in his life, including coworkers and neighbors. He was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography and held on a $250,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are possible pending forensic analysis.
