Escambia Man Gets 25 Years For Producing Child Porn
October 19, 2023
An Escambia County man has been sentenced to to 25 years in federal prison after previously pleading guilty to producing multiple images and videos of child pornography. The sentence was announced Thursday by Jason R. Coody, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
“Crimes against our children are among the most sinister types of offenses and deserving of the
most significant sentences,” said U.S. Attorney Coody. “Those who produce child pornography
facilitate the abuse of children, robbing them of their innocence. We will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute those who engage in such heinous conduct.”
In February 2023, Joseph T. Holbert, 54 was caught using hidden cameras to film two minor females invarious stages of undressing, and using an outdoor shower to clean themselves, in order to
capture images and videos of them without clothes. The victims were 8 and 9 years old. Law enforcement was alerted to this behavior and seized hidden cameras and Holbert’s cellular telephone. A forensic review of the seized items revealed the child pornography Holbert produced for his own pleasure.
“This sentencing confirms the FBI’s commitment to seek justice for our kids,” said Sherri E.
Onks, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Jacksonville. “Together with our partners, we have
ensured one less predator is victimizing the most innocent and vulnerable members of our
community, and we will continue to dedicate every available resource to identifying and
stopping those who exploit our children.”
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the
growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Launched in May 2006 by the
Department of Justice and led by the U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Divisions Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), it marshals federal, state, and local resources to
better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well
as to identify and rescue victims.
Holbert’s prison sentence will be followed by lifetime of federal supervised release, and he will
be required to register as a sex offender.
This conviction was the result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, and the
Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg
prosecuted the case.
