Kevin Thompson, Child Sex Abuse Images, Florida 2024

ORLANDO, FL – A Winter Park man has been sentenced to five years and six months in federal prison for receiving child sex abuse images.

Kevin Thompson, 35, entered a guilty plea on July 22, 2024. According to court documents, an undercover FBI agent discovered an Internet Protocol (IP) address that was sharing files containing child sex abuse material.

The investigation traced the IP address back to Thompson’s Winter Park residence. During the execution of a search warrant at Thompson’s residence, the FBI located dozens of files depicting the sexual abuse of children on Thompson’s smartphone device.

During an interview with FBI agents, Thompson admitted to utilizing his smartphone to download and view child sex abuse material while at his residence. Thompson further told agents that he had been viewing child sex abuse material for approximately 14 years.

Thompson was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul G. Byron on an unknown date, although not in this article. This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael Sartoian.

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. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, 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.
