Florida man gets 20 years behind bars for distributing child porn, 171 images, 338 videos
The Department of Justice announced on August 10 that U.S. District Judge Paul G. Byron in Orlando sentenced William Joseph McClenathan to 20 years in federal prison for distributing child pornography. The 30-year-old McClenathan of Sanford, Florida, had already pleaded guilty to those charges back on May 16, 2018.
According to court documents, in December 2017, McClenathan distributed an image depicting a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. A forensic review of McClenathan’s electronic devices conducted by the FBI revealed that he possessed 171 images of child pornography and 338 videos of child pornography.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
