Tampa Man, Donald Daniel Robinson, Sentenced to 50 Years for Child Sexual Exploitation Offenses
A Tampa man has been sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for producing, possessing, and distributing child pornography, announced today by U.S. District Judge James D. Whittemore.
Donald Daniel Robinson, 30, pleaded guilty on February 16, 2016, to producing, possessing, and distributing child pornography. The investigation began after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) received numerous tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children concerning an Internet user at Robinson’s residence who had distributed files containing child pornography through various social networking websites.
On July 8, 2015, agents from FDLE and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at Robinson’s home. Multiple images of child pornography, including images of local children, were found during the search.
According to victims and evidence obtained from Robinson’s phone, Robinson had posed as a female online to coerce children to produce and send the explicit images to him. The images included minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Additionally, two victims told agents that Robinson had persuaded them to perform sex acts on him.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Susan L. McCormick said, ‘This lengthy prison sentence is reflective of the heinous nature of the crime committed and a result of the hard work of our HSI special agents and FDLE.’
FDLE Tampa’s Special Agent in Charge, Tom Foy, added, ‘This case puts into perspective that crimes like this begin with live victims who are children.’
This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Amanda C. Kaiser.
