Lady Lake Man Sentenced To More Than 11 Years In Prison For Possession Of Child Sexual Abuse Material

Ocala, FL - Senior United States District Judge Gregory A. Presnell has sentenced Aaron Taylor Lemire (29, Lady Lake) to 11 years and 3 months in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for possession of child sexual abuse material. Lemire entered a guilty plea on February 6, 2024.

According to court documents, after an undercover detective received child sexual abuse images from Lemire, agents executed a search warrant on Lemire's residence and seized his electronic devices. A forensic review of those devices revealed more than 100 files of child sexual abuse material depicting the abuse of children as young as six years old.

This case was investigated by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Belkis H. Crockett.

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. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division' Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
