Jacksonville Man Faces Sexual Battery, Cyber Harassment, and Stalking-Related Allegations Tied to Online Posts

Arrest follows investigation into alleged nonconsensual distribution of sexual recordings

A Jacksonville man is facing multiple felony charges after investigators alleged he recorded sexual encounters and later posted some of the content online without the knowledge of the women involved. Police also alleged incidents involving victims who were intoxicated or unconscious.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said its Special Assault Unit arrested 32-year-old Evan Daniel Kaufman on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. The reported charges include sexual battery, sexual cyber harassment and video voyeurism. Investigators said they believe additional victims may exist, including people who may not know images or videos involving them were posted online.

Timeline described by investigators spans years and multiple alleged victims

Detectives said the investigation began in June 2025, after reports that Kaufman recorded consensual sexual acts with women with an understanding the recordings would remain private. Investigators alleged the material was later uploaded to pornography websites, and in some instances posted alongside identifying information such as the woman’s name.

In a separate account detailed in an arrest report described by local broadcasters, a complainant told investigators she met Kaufman around New Year’s Eve 2022 and later socialized with him at local events. She reported blacking out after drinking and later waking up naked, then subsequently learning from a witness that images and video existed depicting sexual activity while she appeared unconscious. Investigators said she later confronted Kaufman, who allegedly said he would delete the content.

Detectives also reported identifying additional complainants during the investigation, including allegations that one victim was sexually battered while under the influence of alcohol and another was recorded without consent while intoxicated.

How the alleged conduct maps onto Florida’s technology-era sex-crime statutes

The charges referenced by investigators reflect several categories of conduct that Florida prosecutors commonly treat as distinct offenses: sexual battery allegations involving incapacitation, video voyeurism allegations centered on recording without consent, and sexual cyber harassment allegations involving publishing sexually explicit images.

While the current allegations are still being tested in court, the case highlights how digital distribution can expand the scope of harm beyond an initial encounter, with investigators focusing not only on what occurred in person but also on what was later shared online and to whom.

• Recorded content: investigators allege private recordings were made and retained.
• Distribution: investigators allege uploads to pornography websites and other sharing.
• Victim awareness: detectives said some potential victims may not know content exists online.

Investigation remains open; authorities seek additional reports

Investigators said additional victims coming forward could be important to the ongoing inquiry. The Sheriff’s Office asked anyone who believes they were assaulted or had images posted online to contact the Special Assault Unit at 904-630-2168.

If you believe you may be a victim, investigators encourage preserving any messages, usernames, posts, or screenshots that could help establish timelines and identify accounts used for distribution.
