MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — Daniel Clark Warren was sentenced to more than 84 years in prison after being found guilty on 82 counts, including possessing child sexual abuse material and video voyeurism involving a minor, according to court records.
Warren was adjudicated guilty on all counts Wednesday in Martin County. The court sentenced him to 1,013.1 months in Florida Department of Corrections custody, with credit for 1,002 days already served. That sentence is about 84 years and five months.
The charges included 75 counts of possessing 10 or more images of child pornography and seven counts of video voyeurism involving a victim younger than 16 and an offender 24 or older, court records show.

The court denied a request for a downward departure from the sentence and designated Warren a sexual offender, according to handwritten court notes.
Warren was arrested in 2024 after investigators accused him of using artificial intelligence to create child sexual abuse images from real photos.
“He takes the face of a child and then he sexualizes that, removes the clothing and poses the child, and engages them in certain sexual activity, and that’s the images he’s making with this AI,” Det. Brian Broughton of the Special Victims Unit at the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said at the time of Warren’s arrest in 2024.
“He was very friendly to many of the neighborhood children, as well as the other families, and so it was an activity that happened in the shadows, and the other families were unaware,” Broughton told CBS12 News at the time.
