Deltona, FL – A Deltona man gets 75 years in state prison following his conviction for possessing child pornography.
32-year-old Allen M. Boyd was sentenced on Tuesday immediately after a Volusia County jury found him guilty on 51 counts of child porn possession.
The jury took around 30 minutes to deliberate before coming back with the verdict, according to a spokesman for 7th Circuit State Attorney RJ Larizza.
“People who view, download, and share child pornography encourage and participate in the sexual exploitation of our children,” Larizza added following the verdict. “This sentence reflects the severity of these crimes and helps eliminate insidious elements from our communities.”
Boyd was arrested in August 2013 after agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office Cyber Unit raided his Dumas Drive home.
FDLE says a search warrant turned up 51 child porn images and videos in a computer found in Boyd’s home.
Boyd was previously convicted for misdemeanor domestic battery, according to Larizza’s office.
