80 year sentence for child exploitation 03/29/2019
ORLANDO – A man was sentenced to 80 years in federal prison for production and possession of child pornography yesterday. This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, and the Cocoa Beach Police Department.
According to court documents, Keneon Fitzroy Isaac, 45, of Cocoa, sexually abused a homeless, 13-year-old child on at least two occasions, and recorded the abuse using his smart phone. Isaac met the victim at a gas station, where she was panhandling with her mother. During the next two months, Isaac gained the family’s trust by providing basic necessities for the family including food, clothing, and shelter. Isaac also obtained 213 images of child pornography from the internet, some of which depicted the sexual abuse and exploitation of infants, toddlers and prepubescent children.
“This criminal abused the trust of a family under the worst of circumstances,” said HSI Tampa Special Agent in Charge James C. Spero. “While this predator has essentially received a life sentence, we hope it can provide some closure for the young victim during the healing process.”
Isaac was found guilty on January 4, 2019. The court also ordered Isaac to forfeit the smart phones that he used to commit the offenses. The case was prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Middle District Florida Assistant United States Attorney Karen L. Gable
