Nassau County Man Pleads Guilty to Transporting Child Pornography

Jacksonville, Florida – In a disturbing case, 22-year-old Nicholas Mitko Clark of Yulee has pleaded guilty to transporting child pornography.

According to the plea agreement, in April 2013, Clark used an instant messaging service to chat with an individual in Canada, with whom he exchanged child pornography. During the chat, Clark requested that the individual send him child pornography and advised that he likes children between the ages of 8 and 13.

After receiving an image depicting a young child, Clark responded that he already had that file and requested another one. Clark and the individual proceeded to exchange additional files of child pornography.

Through their investigation, law enforcement agents obtained Clark’s cellphone and recovered several additional images of child pornography.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kelly S. Karase.

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.

Clark faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years, up to 20 years, in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
