A Cape Coral man has been sentenced to a decade in federal prison for possession of images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children.<\/p>\n

Jason Allen Henning, 43, was arrested after he was caught in a lie during a polygraph test questioning him about contact with minors and unauthorized internet access, according to federal court documents.<\/p>\n

At the time of his arrest, in August 2024, Henning was on probation for a prior arrest for distributing material involving the sexual exploitation of minors.<\/p>\n

As part of his probation, he was subject to a lifetime of supervised release. Terms of his supervised release dictated that Henning was prohibited from possessing or viewing content depicting children “in the nude and\/or in sexually explicit positions,” required to answer questions from his probation officer truthfully and would submit to searches based upon reasonable suspicion that he violated probation.<\/p>\n

When a 2023 lie detector test raised such suspicion, Henning’s probation officer conducted a home visit where she saw that a computer in Henning’s home had been modified. A follow-up search in 2024 led to United States Probation Officers seizing multiple digital items from Henning’s home “based on reasonable suspicion of a violation of conditions of supervised release,” according to federal court documents.<\/p>\n

The forensic review resulted in the findings of “hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse material,” prompting an investigation by the FBI.<\/p>\n

There were more than 1,000 images and 300 videos depicting the sexual abuse of children on the devices seized from Henning’s home.<\/p>\n

Jason Henning is a registered sex offender. In Lee County, there are 948 registered sexual offenders\/predators, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Sexual Offenders and Predators Search.<\/p>\n

Henning is sentenced to 10 years in prison for his crime.<\/p>\n
