Travis Rocky Dixon, 36, Sentenced to 8 Years, 9 Months for Child Pornography
A federal jury found Travis Rocky Dixon guilty of receiving and possessing videos of child pornography using the Internet on November 15, 2013.
On January 18, 2012, a federal search warrant was executed at Dixon’s residence in Palatka, Florida. Forensic examiners discovered that Dixon’s computer was actively downloading video files with titles indicative of child pornography.
During an interview, Dixon told agents that he was the primary user of the computer, that he used a file sharing program to download video files of young girls, and that he had been looking at child pornography for about one year.
A forensic analysis of Dixon’s computer revealed that it contained at least 64 videos depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Travis Rocky Dixon, 36, of Palatka, Florida, was sentenced to 8 years and 9 months in federal prison for receiving and possessing videos of child pornography. He was also ordered to serve a 10-year term of supervision and register as a sex offender.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Daytona Beach, Miami, and Jacksonville, the Clewiston (FL) Police Department, and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney D. Rodney Brown 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. For more information, visit www.usdoj.gov/psc.
