Tallahassee男子手机存12,522张儿童性虐待图片：分发儿童色情内容被判六年半
美国司法部佛罗里达北区联邦检察官办公室宣布，佛罗里达州利昂县 Tallahassee 一名男子因分发儿童色情内容，被判处六年半联邦监禁。
被告 Zachary Phillip Larson，现年29岁。联邦检察官 John P. Heekin 在宣布量刑时说：「分发儿童性虐待材料，等于每一次分享都让那些被剥削的无辜孩子再次受害。让这名被告在联邦监狱里服刑多年，是为本案数不清的受害者伸张正义，也应当警告其他犯罪者：在我的辖区犯下这类罪行，就会面临同样的下场。」
2024年，Tallahassee 警局接到国家失踪与受剥削儿童中心（NCMEC）转来的线索，指 Larson 曾把多段含有儿童色情内容的视频上传到一个社交媒体平台。执法人员随后取得对其社交媒体账号与手机的搜查令，在其手机中查获12,522张儿童性虐待图片，其中包括他上传到该平台的多段视频。
联邦调查局（FBI）Jacksonville 办公室负责人 Jason Carley 说：「剥削儿童、分发儿童性虐待材料的人将被追究责任。FBI 将通过与地方、州和联邦执法伙伴的紧密合作，持续不懈地识别犯罪者、保护儿童。那些以为针对儿童犯罪可以逃脱的人要明白：正义终将找到你。」
此案由联邦调查局与 Tallahassee 警局联合调查，助理联邦检察官 Christie S. Utt 负责起诉。案件同属司法部「安全童年计划」（Project Safe Childhood）的一部分。

Tallahassee Man Sentenced to Six and a Half Years for Distributing Child Pornography: 12,522 Images Found on His Phone
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida announced that a Tallahassee man, in Leon County, Florida, has been sentenced to six and a half years in federal prison for the distribution of child pornography.
Zachary Phillip Larson, 29, of Tallahassee, was sentenced on one count of the distribution of child pornography. U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin said: "The distribution of child sexual abuse material has the effect of re-victimizing the innocent kids who have been exploited each and every time those horrific images and videos are shared. Ensuring this defendant spends years behind federal bars for his heinous crime delivers justice for the countless victims in this case, and should warn other offenders of a similar fate that awaits them if they commit these offenses in my district."
In 2024, the Tallahassee Police Department received tips generated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Larson had uploaded multiple videos containing child pornography to a social media platform. Law enforcement obtained search warrants for his social media account and his cellphone, which contained 12,522 images of child sexual abuse material, including the multiple videos he had uploaded to the platform.
Jason Carley, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jacksonville Division, said: "Those who exploit children and distribute child sexual abuse material will be held accountable for their actions. Through strong partnerships with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners, the FBI will continue working relentlessly to identify offenders and protect children. To those who think they can get away with targeting children: justice will find you."
The case was jointly investigated by the FBI and the Tallahassee Police Department and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christie S. Utt. It was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, the Department of Justice's nationwide initiative against child sexual exploitation and abuse.
