Detectives with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested 32-year-old Evan Daniel Kaufman on Wednesday, Feb. 11 after investigators say he secretly recorded sexual encounters, then posted some of the videos online without the women’s consent. Kaufman is charged with sexual battery, sexual cyberharassment and video voyeurism, and detectives say they believe there may be additional victims who do not yet know they were recorded or that clips were shared. The case traces back to last June, and the agency’s Special Assault Unit is urging anyone with information to reach out.
Investigation timeline and alleged online posts
According to News4Jax, the investigation formally began in June 2025 after tips suggested Kaufman was recording consensual sexual encounters that the women believed would remain private, then uploading those videos to adult websites. In some cases, investigators say the women were identified by name. The outlet reports the Special Assault Unit carried out the arrest on Feb. 11 and that the case is still an open, active investigation.
Allegations about victims’ condition
Action News Jax reports that at least one woman told investigators Kaufman sexually battered her while she was unconscious from alcohol. Another woman reported a separate incident of video voyeurism under similar circumstances, according to the outlet. Authorities said they are especially worried that some people who were intoxicated during encounters may have no idea that images or footage of them were later posted online.
How to report what you know
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office shared Kaufman’s photo and case details on its official Facebook page and asked anyone who believes they may have been assaulted by him, or had intimate images posted without consent, to contact the Special Assault Unit at 904-630-2168. The agency says detectives have already collected evidence they believe links Kaufman to multiple online postings and are asking anyone with information, including possible links to videos, to get in touch directly with investigators.
Legal implications under Florida law
Under Florida law, sexual battery covers sexual acts without consent and can be charged at different felony levels depending on the circumstances. The statute recognizes that a person who is unconscious or otherwise physically helpless cannot legally consent. Video voyeurism and the sharing of intimate images are addressed in separate criminal provisions, and Florida’s sexual cyberharassment statute targets the nonconsensual publication of sexually explicit images that identify the person depicted, as shown in the state code and legal analyses. At this stage, the charges remain allegations, and prosecutors will ultimately decide what to formally file based on the evidence and the applicable statutes. Anyone arrested is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Why detectives are urging people to check
Investigators have warned that potential victims may not realize any recordings exist, especially if they do not frequent the websites where such material can surface. They are urging anyone who recognizes themselves, or who spots identifying details tied to intimate images, to contact the Special Assault Unit. As noted by News4Jax, the case remains under active review while detectives work through leads and examine content shared online.
