R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Jonathan I. Solomon, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced that defendant David Davis, 34, formerly of West Palm Beach, FL, was sentenced to 12 years in jail by U.S. District Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp, on charges of possession of child pornography, and receipt of child pornography. In addition, Davis was sentenced to a lifetime of supervised release that begins upon his release from incarceration and he must register as a sex offender.
Davis had earlier pled guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and one count of receipt of child pornography. According to information presented in Court, on September 18, 2007, the West Palm Beach Police Department was called to Davis’ residence by his roommate. While Davis was out of town his roommate located child pornography on his computer that including images of the roommate’s minor sons. Davis returned to West Palm Beach later that evening and was arrested at the Palm Beach International Airport. Davis admitted that he took pornographic pictures of the roommate’s son, without the son’s knowledge, with the camera in his cellular telephone. Upon examining Davis’ computer law enforcement found additional images of child pornography.
Mr. Acosta commended the investigative efforts of the FBI and the West Palm Beach Police Department, in this matter. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Lothrop Morris.
Not sure I would have called police. Too many good places to dump bodies here.
You read my mind-if it had been my son in those photos this guy would either be in a wheelchair for life or his relatives would now be wondering where he disappeared to.
