ORLANDO, Fla. – A 45-year-old Orlando man has pleaded guilty to possessing child sexual abuse material.
Because Dominick Nardone, 45, Orlando, was previously convicted of a child sexual exploitation offense, he faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years, up to 20 years, in federal prison.
A sentencing date has not yet been set.
According to court documents, in 2014, Nardone was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for receipt of child sexual abuse material. After completing his prison sentence,
Nardone began a term of court supervision.
On October 31, 2020, a probation officer conducted an unannounced home visit at Nardone’s residence. When questioned about his use of electronic devices,
Nardone admitted that he had used a cellphone to search for child sexual abuse material in the preceding three weeks. The probation officer immediately seized Nardone’s cellphone and had the contents forensically examined.
