The premise of this arrest was based on activities involving the sexual exploitation of minors, specifically that Abel was utilizing a peer-to-peer file sharing program to collect images of post-pubescent boys.
According to the federal complaint, Abel transported, distributed, and possessed child pornography online.
On February 23, 2011 , a federal search warrant was executed at Abel’s residence, where approximately 20 terabytes of related data was seized.
The IITF is requesting anyone with information about this matter, including information regarding potential victims, contact the FBI Tampa Field Office at 813/253-1000.
The charges in the federal complaint are merely allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent, unless and until proven guilty.
