Robert Allen Brammer (24, High Springs) pled guilty today to a federal charge of receiving child pornography over the Internet. Brammer faces a mandatory minimum sentence of at least five years and up to 20 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and a potential life term of supervised release. The plea agreement also requires Brammer to forfeit several computers and other digital media. His sentencing hearing is set for August 27, 2012 at 1:30 p.m.

According to court documents, a detective working with the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force began an undercover operation to identify persons using a particular file-sharing program on the Internet to obtain and share child pornography. During the course of investigation, a computer using a particular Internet protocol (IP) address in Florida was observed offering images of child pornography for distribution. A subsequent investigation revealed that, during the time frame this IP address was seen offering images of child pornography for distribution, the subscriber for this Internet service account was Robert Allen Brammer.

On September 3, 2010, a federal search warrant was executed at Brammer’s residence. During the search, the officers seized, among other things, a laptop computer and a desktop tower computer. Brammer was interviewed and stated that he began searching for and downloading child pornography approximately three-and-a-half years prior, and that he used file-sharing programs to search for and download child pornography from the Internet. Brammer also said that child pornography is “obviously illegal.” Subsequent forensic analysis revealed that Brammer’s computer media contained at least 28 images and 15 videos of child pornography.
