Brian Wilcox, charged with photographing and creating pornographic images of a child relative, was sentenced Wednesday to 45 years in prison, a Department of Justice release states.
On Oct. 10, Wilcox pled guilty to production, possession and transportation of child pornography.
Hillsborough County deputies received a report in February 2007 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which got information from Photobucket, a Web site. The site allows users to upload photographs they can view and show others.
The site found that the Tampa man had posted child pornography, a Department of Justice release states. A search warrant led to the seizure of computer equipment containing child pornography.
"Wilcox admitted that he had used a digital camera to take the child pornography images," the release states.
A forensic examination shows Wilcox had about 120 images of child pornography, including graphic images involving a child as young as 5, according to the release.
While behind bars, Wilcox said he has a vast array of medical issues and requested medical attention for his flatulence, groin numbness and tooth decay. That was request was granted.
The sheriff's office and the FBI investigated the child pornography case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda C. Kaiser.
