A 56-year-old Florida man who frequently traveled to the Philippines to have sex with childrenand make video recordings of the abusewill be spending the rest of his life behind bars for his crimes related to child sex tourism.

David Paul Lynch was convicted on multiple counts of producing and receiving child pornography and traveling with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct. A federal judge recently sentenced the Venice, Florida resident to 330 years in prison.

Evidence in the case revealed that for more than a decade beginning in 2005, Lynch made regular trips to the Philippines to have sex with children. Prior to traveling, he facilitated his illegal activity through online communication with individuals in the Philippinesin one case the mother of one of his victims.

He used an online messaging platform to send and receive pictures and to arrange travel, said Special Agent Daniel Ward, who supervises the FBIs Fort Myers Child Exploitation Task Force in the Bureaus Tampa Division. Some of his victims were as young as 6 or seven years old.

Lynch produced child pornography of at least three Filipino children on his visits and also solicited child pornography via e-mail from a fourth victim. The FBI was contacted about Lynchs suspicious online behavior as a result of a longstanding partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which had received a tip from security personnel at the Internet sites where Lynch had posted pornographic images of children.

He had no history of being a sexual offender, Ward said, but the child pornography he was sending and receiving online caught the attention of officials at the social media platform he was using. There was no question that these were little kids.

The FBI opened an investigation, and in December 2016, Lynch was arrested in San Francisco attempting to board a flight to the Philippines. A simultaneous search of his home in Florida uncovered dozens of self-produced images and videos of child pornography from his previous trips abroad.

Megan Buck, a Sarasota Police Department detective and member of the Fort Myers Child Exploitation Task Force, investigated the case and arrested Lynch at the airport. The Internet has made it relatively easy for people like Lynch to exploit children overseas, she said.

A member of the multi-agency task force since 2013, Buck also worked the investigation with other federal law enforcement agenciesincluding U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements Homeland Security Investigationsas well as international authorities. Florida police departments who are members of the task force, including the Cape Coral Police Department, the Bradenton Police Department, and the Lee County Sheriffs Office, also assisted the investigation.

Lynch was convicted by a federal jury in October 2017 on eight counts related to child sex tourism, and a judge sentenced him in January 2018 to 330 years in prison. The sentence he received sets a precedent and really sends a message, Buck said. The community is not going to tolerate this kind of exploitation of children anymore.

It is to make sure if he has good behavior or anything reducing his sentence, he will still die in jail.

did he not know that distributing and producing child porn is a felony?

dude clearly isn't smart if he got caught. Probably didn't use a private VPN or used Tor to mask IP

No, but i have used bitcoin using Tor browser to buy things anonymously. And the #1 way to protect yourself from the feds and LEO is using VPN and modifying the tor browser. Also if you have incriminating content on your PC , simply using the trash bin and deleting it can still be recovered. it has to be shredded (or a software that doesn't allow any form of recovery)

if he was smart with his online activity by properly hiding himself online, he wouldn't have been arrested and convicted.

It's always in the best interest to not use the phrase "If it were me..." when discussing anything involving child exploitation.

Because parole and appeals can get sentences reduced. The goal is to try and make it so that he can't use those things to get out.

he would have. it's the proof that got him caught. makes you wonder how many people go to developing countries to have sex with kids and don't get caught because they didn't record anything

Parole simply means no need to serve due to health iirc.

Hmmmm. If he does live that long, they would have to let him go, right? Then again, he would become a lab rat to study his longevity.
