Florida ONLINE CHILD PREDATORS 2011: Joshua Jay Williamson (24) from Jacksonville sentenced to 5 ½ years in federal prison for extorting dozens of women on Facebook and possession child porn

24-year-old Joshua Jay Williamson received the sentence on the 29th of November, 2012, in Jacksonville. Court documents say Williamson "hacked" in to the email and social networking site on FB of dozens of women between February 2011 and June 2011. Using the personal information he gathered, along with suggestive photos he would find online, and would then further demand the women to send him full nude and sexually explicit photos. He told them that if they did not comply, he would send provocative pictures to their email and Facebook contacts.

On May 19th, 2011 alone Williamson sent extortionate emails to about 75 women.

He attempted to hide his ID by using several IP Adresses and an anonymizer tool (like i.ex. Ghostsurf) but the Smartass should have known that he can be tracked down by authorities anyway.

Files with photos of personal information for more than 150 women were found on Williamson’s computer; 23 images and 31 videos of child pornography were also uncovered.

Williamson will spend 66 months in federal prison and further will serve 10 years of supervised release. He also has been registered as a sex offender and his CPU-Hardware were forfeited as well.

Many agencies, including the FBI, the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) and the JSO (Jacksonville Sheriff's Office) were involved in the investigation.

Police arrest a Rensselaer man, after finding thousands of child pornography images on his computer. Our Erin Connolly has more on why officials are saying cases like this one are unfortunately not out of the ordinary.

RENSSELAER, N.Y. -- Police say he had more than 20,000 images of child porn downloaded and stored on his personal laptop. And after a month long investigation with the FBI, Rensselaer Police arrested Jason Burnash, 30, on Monday. Although they didn't investigate this particular case, New York State Police say these situations are becoming all too common.

Lt. Joseph Donahue of the New York State Police said, "The problem we're having is it's so prevalent it's happening in our neighborhoods. This is not a sin city type of crime. It's not just big urban areas like New York City or Los Angeles, this is a rural America issue as well."

Burnash is charged with possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child, which is a class E felony. Lieutenant Donahue says studies have shown that a number of people who collect child porn go on to become sexual offenders.

Lt. Donahue said, "Not everyone who looks at child porn will go out and victimize a child, but if one does, that's too many."

As Rensselaer police continue to investigate Burnash's case, state police say those producing the pictures need to be held accountable as well.

Lt. Donahue said, "Another thing to think about is in order to have these pictures, a child under 16 engaged in a sexual act, there had to be a real child less than 16 engaged in that sexual which is child molestation, child rape. And then someone took a picture of it which affects them forever, ever and ever."

Burnash is in the Rensselaer County jail without bail. His next court date is March 4th and more charges could be pending. If you have any information about Burnash, you're asked to call Rensselaer Police.
