Christopher Ted Duluk, Child Sexual Abuse Images, Florida 2022
A former school teacher has been sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for possessing images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children.
Christopher Ted Duluk (32, Fort Myers) was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell on February 9, 2022.
According to court documents, Duluk was found guilty after a bench trial on December 2, 2020.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) began an investigation into Duluk for unlawfully impersonating a law enforcement officer and for using a government license plate.
On December 10, 2019, deputies from the LCSO executed a search warrant on Duluk’s home and car and seized Duluk’s vehicle bearing a state tag, and a thumb drive that was in the trunk.
During the subsequent search of the thumb drive, LCSO observed an image depicting child sexual abuse.
A forensic analysis of the thumb drive revealed approximately 150 images and 150 videos depicting the sexual exploitation and abuse of children.
On March 10, 2020, a search warrant was executed at Duluk’s residence.
Law enforcement officers seized Duluk’s laptop computer and later identified approximately 90 videos of the sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fort Myers Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, which includes the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Yolande G. Viacava.
This is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
