An Orange County man faces serious charges after a federal grand jury indictment accuses him of child sexual abuse-related offenses. David Andrew Ogden, a 39-year-old resident of Winter Park, has been charged with five counts of production and one count of possession of child sexual abuse material, with the potential of hefty prison sentences looming over his case if convicted.
Details obtained from a press release by the United States Attorney’s Office reveal that Ogden allegedly used a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce visual depictions of this conduct. This activity purportedly took place from June to September 2024, and in September 2022, he also possessed additional illegal materials. The charges for production could lock Ogden away for a minimum of 15 years and up to 30 years per count, while the possession charge carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years.
This case was thoroughly investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Winter Park Police Department as part of the ongoing Project Safe Childhood initiative. Assistant United States Attorney Megan Testerman will prosecute it. Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide push spearheaded by the Department of Justice in 2006. It aims to tackle the increasing prevalence of child exploitation and abuse by coordinating federal, state, and local efforts to apprehend offenders and aid victims.
For those seeking more information about the protective measures and efforts of Project Safe Childhood, further details can be found on their official government website.
