Orlando, Florida -U.S. District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell sentenced Wilfred Reginald Breuer (50, Port Orange) to 7 years and six months in federal prison for receipt and possession of child pornography. The court also ordered Breuer to forfeit the computer he used to receive the child pornography and to serve a ten year term of supervised release following his incarceration. Breuer pleaded guilty on November 28, 2012.
According to court documents, Breuer received child pornography using a Peer to Peer shared directory. Breuer admitted to downloading child pornography images and videos for more than five years.
