Christopher S. Carter, 41, of Gainesville, was sentenced to 48 months in prison and a lifetime of supervised release following his prison term for possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Pamela C. Marsh, Northern District of Florida.
Carter, the former chief of Surgical Inpatient Care at the North Florida Veteran’s Hospital, pleaded guilty on May 14, to one count of possession of child pornography. During the course of his plea, Smith admitted that he used a computer to possess and view images of child pornography that he had downloaded from the Internet using specialized software.
Ms. Marsh praised the work of the FBI and the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, whose joint investigation led to the conviction and sentence of Carter.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
