For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Florida

Orlando, Florida – U.S. District Judge John Antoon, II today sentenced Jamie P. Esposito (32, Orlando) to 75 years in federal prison for producing and possessing child pornography. He pleaded guilty on March 29, 2017.

 

According to court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, Esposito sexually abused a 7-year-old child one to two times per month over an 18 to 24-month period. He chronicled the abuse by taking pictures and videos, and shared them with multiple people online. When federal law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Esposito’s home on November 29, 2016, they discovered more than 2,700 images of child pornography, including the images and videos he had produced of the child.

 

In addition, in July 2016, Esposito arranged to take the child to Tampa to be sexually abused by Richmond McDonald and Shauna Boselli. Esposito took pictures and video of the acts. McDonald and Boselli have been charged separately (case number 8:16-cr-517-T-33AEP) and have pleaded guilty to enticement of a minor. They are scheduled to be sentenced on October 4, 2017.

 

“This crime is beyond comprehension and no punishment can bring back the innocence of this child,” said HSI Tampa Special Agent in Charge James C. Spero. “But we hope that today’s sentencing can bring some solace to this young victim.”

 

This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn P. Napier.
