SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested a Satellite Beach man on Dec. 18, 2025, on 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material and 372 counts of promoting sexual performance by a child.
FDLE’s investigation began on Aug. 25, 2025, when agents identified an individual sharing and downloading digital files depicting the sexual abuse of children online.

On Oct. 15, 2025, FDLE agents executed a search warrant at Martineac’s residence, seizing multiple electronic devices. Forensic analysis of these devices uncovered more than 4,000 digital images and video files depicting the sexual abuse of children, with some of the victims reportedly as young as 5 years old.
The arrest was made with the assistance of the Satellite Beach Police Department. Martineac was subsequently transported to the Brevard County Jail for processing.
