Tampa, Florida - U.S. District Judge Charlene E. Honeywell
has sentenced Cody Robert Schoh (23, Palm Harbor) to 7 years and 11 months in
federal prison for receiving and possessing child pornography. The court also
ordered Schoh to forfeit the electronic devices he had used in the commission
of the offense.
Schoh had pleaded guilty on August 16, 2019.
According to court documents, the FBI began an investigation
after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children that someone at Schoh's Palm Harbor residence had uploaded 94 files
depicting child pornography to an online cloud storage system. The FBI executed
a search warrant at Schoh's residence and seized his electronic devices. A
forensic analysis of the devices revealed that Schoh was in possession of child
sex abuse images and videos. Forensic analysts also found that Schoh had used a
web-based messaging application to engage in sexual conversations with numerous
individuals who appeared to be minors. He also received, transmitted, and
possessed child pornography via the internet.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lisa M.
Thelwell.
