Orlando Man Sentenced To 60 Years In Federal Prison For Producing Child Sexual Abuse Material

Orlando, Florida - U.S. District Judge Wendy W. Berger has sentenced Muhamad Almufada Adi (49, Orlando) to 60 years in federal prison for producing child sexual abuse material. The court also ordered Adi to forfeit the electronic devices used in the commission of the offense. Adi entered a guilty plea on May 14, 2024.

According to court documents, between 2018 and 2022, Adi sexually abused a minor victim and produced child sexual abuse material of the child. Adi then uploaded the child sexual abuse material to online cloud and social media accounts. Adi also sexually abused a second minor victim and forced the second child to look at the child sexual abuse material that had been produced of the first child.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Orange County Sheriff's Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Diane Hu.

"Protecting our children from sexual exploitation is a moral obligation for Homeland Security Investigations and our partners at the Orange County Sheriff's Office," said Homeland Security Investigation Tampa Special Agent in Charge John Condon. "Our mutual steadfast commitment comes with an unwavering vigilance and compassion for victims."

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, 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.
