According to Rock Feed, ex-Get Scared vocalist Joel Faviere has been arrested in an undercover child pornography sting called “Operation Child Guardian.” The investigation, which was put together by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, lasted three weeks and it led to 42 arrests, including 18 who were charged with possession.
The Polk Count Sherrif’s Office says Faviere was charged with all the following:
“27-year-old Joel Faviere of Lakeland – Detectives received information that someone operating a device located in Faviere‘s home was sharing files that contain child pornography. Detectives responded to the home on Buck Run Drive, and during an on-scene preview of his computer equipment they seized, detectives found over 4,500 files containing child pornography, including images of infants and toddlers being sexually abused. Faviere told detectives he has been viewing child pornography for a year and that it “has become an addiction.” Faviere was placed under arrest and charged with:
Three (3) counts Possession of Child Pornography (F-2)
Six (6) counts Promotion of Sexual Performance of a Child (F-2)
Detectives will conduct a thorough forensic analysis of all equipment seized, and additional charges are pending.”
Faviere was only in Get Scared for a short time and appeared on their 2012 EP “Built for Blame, Laced With Shame.” Nick Matthews made the following Instagram post:
