CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. – A Punta Gorda man was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple counts of possession of child pornography.
Alexander Keim, 33, who listed his religion as “Satanism” on his arrest report was arrested on April 18, 2019 after deputies found 97 files of child pornography on his computer, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.
Kleim entered a plea deal on February 18 and was charged with six counts of child pornography and one count of transmission of child porn, according to court documents.
The 33-year-old was sentenced to three years in prison with a credit of 673 days served and eight years sex offender probation after the State Attorney’s Office agreed to the plea. He will begin serving just over a year for the crime.
Keim was facing a maximum sentence of 45 years in prison before taking the deal.
The Punta Gorda man will also be required to pay over $14,000 for the cost of the investigation, undergo a mental health evaluation and go to peer support meetings.
Deputies tracked down Keim in 2019 using a software alerting them to the child pornography at the residence, according to CCSO.
Law enforcement searched two Dell laptops and found videos of young girls performing sex acts on grown men on the laptops, according to an arrest report.
Keim, who was living with his parents, was arrested and charged with six counts of possession of a photograph of sexual performance by a child.
Keim’s initial arrest was part of a bigger sting operation called “Operation Safe Summer,” where the Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested 14 men and one woman in a child pornography bust.
