A Louisville man has been sentenced to 11 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography and violating supervised release. Jason Florence, 49, was sentenced yesterday to 10 years for possession of child pornography and an additional 1 year for violating a previous term of federal supervised release.
The sentence was handed down in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Florence was found to be in possession of graphic videos and images of child pornography during his term of supervised release.
Florence was previously convicted of child pornography offenses in 2015. He was on federal supervised release at the time he committed the offense. His previous conviction was for attempted transportation and possession of child pornography.
This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service. Assistant U.S. Attorneys A. Spencer McKiness and Danielle Yannelli prosecuted the case.
The sentence includes a lifetime of supervised release following Florence’s 10-year prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
The 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. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
Florence was convicted following a two-day jury trial in August of this year. He was found guilty of possessing child pornography and violating the terms of his supervised release.
