The FBI Philadelphia’s Fort Washington Resident Agency investigated a case involving Michael Hochman, 52, of Warminster, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced on Friday.

Hochman was sentenced to 240 months in prison and 10 years of supervised release for downloading and collecting thousands of images and video of child sexual abuse material. He was charged by information with receipt of child pornography and pleaded guilty in June, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

In 2002, Hochman was convicted in Kansas of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, for which he was sentenced to 55 months’ imprisonment. In that case, he communicated online with a 13-year-old girl, manipulated her into producing sexually explicit images, and traveled to Kansas and engaged in sex with the child on multiple occasions.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Rotella.

The FBI’s Fort Washington Resident Agency is a satellite office of the larger FBI Philadelphia Field Office that serves Bucks and Montgomery counties, providing local FBI presence for reporting crimes, terrorism, and suspicious activity.
