Former Deputy Gets 10 Years For Receiving Child Porn

The Canadian Press, 23 Aug, 2018 12:31 PM

ORLANDO, Fla. — A former Florida deputy has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for receiving child pornography after the RCMP reported his online activity to American authorities.

Court records show 36-year-old Kevin Hutchinson was sentenced this week in Orlando federal court.

The former Orange County deputy pleaded guilty in May.

Earlier this year, the Mounties alerted the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of child pornography being sent through Kik, a Canadian-based social media messaging app, from an IP address in the Orlando area. That address was traced to Hutchinson.

A search warrant was issued at Hutchinson's home.

Investigators say he possessed 5,872 images and 1,625 videos of child pornography.
