Jacksonville man sentenced for “constantly” searching for child porn

Jacksonville, FL — A Jacksonville man has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison for receiving sexual abuse videos of children over the Internet.

A search warrant was executed on 58-year-old Richard Lord’s Jacksonville home in September 2016. Prosecutors say, while speaking with investigators, Lord admitted to using his cellphones to search for, download, and view child porn. Court records say Lord “constantly” searched for child porn and couldn’t control himself, specifically targeting media with 10 to 12-year-old children.

Investigators found six videos on Lord’s cellphones showing the sexual abuse of young children.

After Lord’s seven year three month sentence in federal prison, he will serve a lifetime of supervision and register as a sex offender.
