Eric Lipman, longtime lawyer for the #Florida Elections Commission, was arrested Wednesday on possession of child porn charges after a search warrant was served at his home in #Tallahassee.
No court records with details are available yet. I'm hearing investigators confiscated his work laptop among other computers.
Lipman, general counsel for the Elections Commission, previously worked for the #Florida Department of Children and Families in Leon, Wakulla and Franklin counties. He also was an officer in a youth soccer league for kids 4-17, according to corporate filings.
