Clermont Man Sentenced To Federal Prison For Downloading Child Pornography


Tampa, Florida – U.S. District Judge William F. Jung today sentenced Sean Ferraresi (34, Clermont) to 10 years and 1 month in federal prison for receipt of child pornography. The court also ordered Ferraresi to forfeit the computers he had used to download and store child pornography.

Ferraresi had pleaded guilty on December 13, 2019.

According to court documents, Ferraresi had downloaded thousands of files depicting the sexual abuse of children. In addition, after Ferraresi was arrested, law enforcement officers discovered sexually explicit text messages between Ferraresi and children, including conversations in which Ferraresi solicited nude images from or sent nude images to children.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Colin P. McDonell.
