TAMPA, Fla. — A 19-year-old Tampa man pled guilty to possession of child sexual abuse material after law enforcement found more than 8,300 images and videos of child sex abuse material on his digital devices.
The U.S. Attorney's Offices said Jack Rocker, 19, was a member of "a network of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists called '764.'" According to the US attorney, the group used social media platforms as "mediums to support possession, production, and sharing of extreme gore media and CSAM."
The FBI seized Rocker's cellphone, thumb drive, and laptop, where they discovered the images and videos of brutal child sex abuse material.
Rocker faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison as a result of his plea.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
