A Jacksonville man has been sentenced to five years in prison for the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday.
The man, 26-year-old Amias Mabini, pleaded guilty to 12 of the 40 counts charged against him. According to Circuit Judge Dawn Nichols, he has been sentenced to five years in state prison, and is required to register as a sex offender and serve 10 years of sex offender probation.
“Our thorough investigation, and the state attorney’s office’s aggressive stance on those who view and distribute child sexual abuse material, led to a lengthy prison sentence for this pervert,” said Sheriff Rick Staly.
According to FCSO, detectives first became aware of the case in early 2025 when a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was received. The tip alleged that CSAM was shared and viewed 40 times by a user, later identified as Mabini, on the app Kik in September 2024. Instances were documented at a home in Palm Coast and in Jacksonville.
On July 12, 2025, the sheriff’s office says that Mabini had met with detectives to discuss an allegation of abuse, where he had admitted to viewing and distributing CSAM.
Mabini was arrested and originally charged with 40 counts of viewing and distribution of child pornography with enhancement and eight counts of viewing and distribution of child pornography without enhancement.
