Acting United States Attorney Sara C. Sweeney announces that Bryce Fleetwood (26, Clermont) has pleaded guilty to two counts of receiving child sex abuse material.
Fleetwood faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison on each count, including a five-year minimum term of imprisonment. Fleetwood is currently in federal custody pending the resolution of this case.
A sentencing date has not yet been set.
According to the plea agreement, Fleetwood’s cellphone was seized by law enforcement during an unrelated state investigation.
A search of Fleetwood’s cellphone pursuant to a search warrant revealed a significant amount of CSAM, including CSAM, that Fleetwood had received over the internet on two occasions in 2022.
