Fort Myers Man Charged with Possession of Child Pornography
A 48-year-old Fort Myers man has been charged with possessing child pornography. Kevin Charles Kaszynski faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint, Kaszynski possessed child pornography from April 2009 through June 2012. His wife found a computer hard drive among other items belonging to her husband while going through boxes stored in a leased storage unit.
On August 27, 2013, Kaszynski’s wife accessed the hard drive and opened a file which depicted a prepubescent girl in a sexual pose. The hard drive was turned over to law enforcement for further investigation.
On September 5, 2013, agents obtained a search warrant for the external hard drive. A forensic analysis of the external drive revealed more than 7,000 images and more than 400 videos depicting child pornography.
A criminal complaint is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of the federal criminal laws, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), with assistance from the Fort Myers Police Department. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Yolande G. Viacava.
This case was brought as 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.
