Chad Robison, 36, of Hernando, was charged with video voyeurism, lewd and lascivious exhibition and knowingly promoting sexual performance by a child, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. His bond was set at $26,000.

Robison, who served in the position from 2011 to 2017, reportedly had more than 3,000 illicit videos and 350,000 illicit pictures on a laptop discovered by a coworker in May. The photos and videos reportedly showed young girls performing “virtual sex acts” with Robison, according to the release. He is also accused of videotaping girls using the restroom at his home without their knowledge.

“We believe there could be multiple victims. Some may be local here in Citrus County, and others across the states and abroad,” said Major Crimes Capt. Brian Spiddle. “It’s going to be a very difficult and long process to find those who have been victimized by this man.”

The sheriff’s office is asking parents, parishoners and anyone victimized by Robison to contact its Major Crimes division by calling 352-726-1121.
