Odessa Man Charged In Federal Court With Producing Child Porn Videos

ODESSA, FL — United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced Wednesday the filing of a criminal complaint charging Justin Ryan Culmo, 39, of Odessa with production and distribution of child sexual abuse materials. Culmo was arrested on Sept. 26.

According to the complaint, Culmo has been linked to an online community of people who regularly produce, distribute,and receive child sexual abuse material via hidden service websites, also known as dark websites, that operate on an anonymous network. The websites Culmo accessed are exclusively dedicated to the sexual abuse of children.

Handberg said there is probable cause to believe that Culmo produced and distributed child sexual abuse material on these sites.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stacie B. Harris.

Anyone who has or knows of someone who may have been a possible victim of Culmo is urged to contact HSI at 1-866-347-2423 or click here.
