A Brevard County man has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography, a federal crime that carries a severe prison sentence.
Daniel Lester Jackson, 34, of Brevard County, pleaded guilty to two counts of producing child pornography in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
According to the plea agreement, on June 17, 2015, officers from the Palm Bay Police Department executed a search warrant at Jackson’s residence. Forensic analyses of the electronic media revealed images and videos depicting child pornography.
Subsequent investigation determined that on at least two separate occasions Jackson had used his cellphone to record explicit images of a 6-year-old girl.
As part of the plea agreement, Jackson faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, up to 30 years, in federal prison on each count. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 16, 2015.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Palm Bay Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ilianys Rivera Miranda.
This case was 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.
