According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAO), Michael E. Simpson Jr., 24, of Pompano Beach, has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith to 20 years in prison for enticing a 10-year-old child into criminal sexual activity.

“In 2021, while sitting in a parked vehicle with his then fiancé’s 10-year-old daughter, Simpson began playing a sexually explicit video on his phone. He intentionally positioned it so the child could see it. While the video played, Simpson exposed himself to the child, touched himself, and solicited the child to have inappropriate contact with him,” the USAO said in its statement.

According to the USAO, the child reported the incident, and law enforcement began an investigation into Simpson and reportedly discovered he possessed approximately 264 videos and 1,146 images of child sexual abuse material of prepubescent children, including infants and toddlers.

“In addition, law enforcement found evidence that Simpson attended events in which grown adults dressed up in infant attire and engaged in sexual activity,” the USAO said.

On October 17, 2022, Simpson pled guilty to one count of enticing a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. In addition to his prison sentence, he will have 15 years of supervised release.

U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe of the Southern District of Florida and acting Special Agent In Charge Michael E. Buckley of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) made the announcement.
