Printer FriendlyOkaloosa County Man Sentenced to 180 Years in Prison for Possession, Promotion of Child Pornography
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that an Okaloosa County man was sentenced to 180 years in prison for possession and promotion of child pornography. Christopher Paul Bachman was found guilty earlier this year on 34 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of promoting the sexual performance of a child, by a jury in Crestview.
Bachman was arrested in 2008 when law enforcement with the Attorney General's CyberCrime Unit located images of child pornography online and traced them back to Bachman’s computer. A search warrant was executed by the CyberCrime Unit and the Okaloosa Sheriff’s Office at Bachman’s Crestview residence and numerous items, including a laptop computer and an external hard drive, were seized for forensic analysis. The CyberCrime Unit’s forensic analyst examined those items and recovered numerous videos and pictures containing images of child pornography.
Bachman was prosecuted by attorneys with the State Attorney’s Office for the First Judicial District and was sentenced by the Judge William Stone in Florida’s First Judicial Circuit.
