Rincon Man Charged with Child Pornography
Jacksonville, Florida – In a shocking turn of events, John Charles Stevenson, a 45-year-old resident of Rincon, Georgia, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for receiving child pornography over the Internet.
According to the indictment, Stevenson knowingly received visual depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct via the Internet on two separate occasions. This heinous crime has left law enforcement officials stunned and determined to bring justice to the victims.
Stevenson was arrested on June 21, 2013, in Rincon, Georgia, and remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending a detention hearing on July 11, 2013, at the U.S. Courthouse in Jacksonville.
Assistant United States Attorney D. Rodney Brown is handling the prosecution of this case, which was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent until, and unless, proven guilty.
Stevenson faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years, up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
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.
