Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the rearrest of a Leesburg man for allegedly possessing child pornography and the sentencing of a New Port Richey man for child pornography during a news conference in Orlando this week.
According to details in a release, Devon Huart, 20, was rearrested on 11 counts for allegedly possessing child pornography, and Michael Ambrosio, 52, was sentenced on 15 counts of Possession of Child Pornography and 1 count of Possession of Child Pornography with Intent to promote.
“Time and again, our office is prosecuting child predators who use social media platforms to share disgusting content and groom children,” Uthmeier said. “Protecting kids is my number one priority, and today’s takedown of two more predators makes a record 1400 in a year. They’ll face long sentences behind bars or the death penalty where eligible.”
According to the release, Huart allegedly shared child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) following a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tip in January 2025. He was arrested following a search warrant at his home by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and charged with one count of Possession of Child Pornography before posting bond.
Per investigators, Huart initially denied possessing CSAM, but allegedly admitted possessing the materials during a post-Miranda interview. Investigators then found ten additional files of CSAM, resulting in Hurat's rearrest on ten additional charges of Possession of Child Pornography.
Ambrosio was sentenced following an investigation that began in October 2023. According to the investigation, Ambrosio trafficked and distributed CSAM through is IP address in an undercover internet operation by FDLE officials using Peer-to-Peer software.
A search warrant was executed at Ambroso's residence in January 2024, and he was arrested without incident. During the search, investigators found 5 files of extremely graphic materials, including graphic images and videos of very young minors.
Ambrosio made an open plea in court and was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in prison.
“FDLE remains committed to protecting our children, families and communities and will continue to work alongside our partners to make sure these types of dangerous criminals are put away and pay for their crimes,” FDLE Assistant Commissioner Mike Willims said. “Our agents work hard to remove these criminals who commit such heinous acts and target our children. You can rest assured that we will find them and bring them to justice.”
Uthmeier has made several announcements on convictions and arrests of child predators during his time in office, including several earlier last month.
