United States of America v. Coltin Rylie Plummer

Miami, Florida production and distribution of child pornography charged criminal defense lawyer represented, Coltin Rylie Plummer, who used an internet-based application to send child pornography, as well as lewd and threatening messages, to minors across Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, and Canada.



In some messages, Plummer claimed to have raped the children in the pictures he sent. In others, Plummer suggested to the children with whom he communicated that he knew where they lived and where to find them. Plummer tried to coerce children into complying with his demands, including requests for pictures, by threatening to kill their families if they refused. Plummer convinced two young girls (one 13, the other 14) to take, and send to him, sexually explicit images of themselves.



FBI Miami investigated the case, together with the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Hoover is prosecuting the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney William Zloch is handling asset forfeiture.
