An Apopka man has been sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in federal prison for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse materials.
According to a recent press release, U.S. District Judge Wendy W. Berger handed down the sentence to Charles Vincent Yannaccone, 52, on June 28, 2023, in Orlando, Florida.
The court also ordered Yannaccone to forfeit five hard drives, a cellphone, a thumb drive, a computer tower, and a computer with a SD card, which were used to commit the offenses in this case.
Yannaccone had entered a guilty plea on June 28, 2023.
According to court documents, Yannaccone downloaded multiple depictions of child sexual abuse materials using a peer-to-peer file sharing platform.
During the execution of a search warrant on his home, law enforcement discovered hundreds of depictions of child sexual abuse materials on Yannaccone’s electronic devices.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Courtney D. Richardson-Jones.
Yannaccone was charged with receiving and possessing child sexual abuse materials.
The case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
