Orlando, Florida – U.S. District Judge Carlos E. Mendoza
today sentenced Vorarut Vorasiangsuk (37, Orlando) to 14 years in federal
prison for receipt and possession of child pornography. The court also ordered
Vorasiangsuk to forfeit multiple computers and hard drives, which he had used
to commit the offenses.
A federal jury had found Vorasiangsuk guilty on May 14,
2019.
According to court documents, evidence presented at trial,
and information discussed during the sentencing proceeding, Vorasiangsuk used
an online file-sharing program to download and view child pornography for
years. The FBI initially identified Vorasiangsuk after he distributed child
pornography to an undercover agent through the file-sharing program.
Upon executing a search warrant at Vorasiangsuk’s residence,
agents recovered numerous electronic devices that contained more than 3,800
images and more than 140 videos depicting the sexual abuse of children,
including many young children. During an interview with agents, Vorasiangsuk
admitted that he had been viewing child pornography for approximately 16 years.
During that same timeframe, he had worked with infants and children as a
respiratory therapist at a local hospital.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Emily C.
L. Chang.
