Sex Offender Charged Again With Child Porn Distribution

FORT MYERS, FL—United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III announces that an indictment has been returned against Daniel Edward Palmer, 37 of Port Charlotte, charging him with one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

According to the indictment, Palmer distributed child pornography images and videos to an undercover FBI Task Force Agent over an Internet peer-to-peer network between the dates of March 30, 2014 and July 8, 2014. 

A federal search warrant was subsequently executed at Palmer’s residence and all computer-related items were seized. A forensic analysis of the evidence revealed over 300 images and videos of child pornography. 

Palmer is a registered sex offender stemming from a 2009 conviction for possessing child pornography.
