Since Uthmeier's appointment in February 2025, the Office of Statewide Prosecution has been associated with the takedown of over 1,400 child predators and participated in over 1,500 child exploitation investigations.
The rearrest of Huart, 20, of Leesburg, followed a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tip on January 23, 2026, indicating he was sharing child sexual abuse materials. FDLE executed a search warrant at his residence on January 30, 2026.
Huart was initially arrested on one count but posted bond. Huart initially denied possessing CSAM. However, during his post-Miranda interview, he admitted to possessing the materials, leading investigators to find ten additional files. He is currently held on a $100,000 bond at the Lake County jail.
Investigators also discovered concerning communications on Huart's TikTok account, which remains under investigation. If convicted on the 11 counts, Huart faces up to 165 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. The case is being prosecuted in the Fifth Judicial Circuit.
Michael Ambrosio, 52, of New Port Richey, was sentenced on February 13, 2026, after making an open plea to 15 counts of possession and one count of possession with intent to promote. His IP address was identified on October 18, 2023, during an undercover FDLE operation targeting peer-to-peer software traffic.
A search warrant executed at Ambrosio's residence on January 17, 2024, revealed 15 files of extremely graphic materials, including images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of very young children stored on his desktop computer. He received a 25-year sentence in the Florida Department of Corrections.
The Ambrosio case was prosecuted by the Office of Statewide Prosecution in the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
