PALM BAY, Fla. – Kody Jordan-Muti of Palm Bay has been charged as part of an international investigation into a child pornography ring, as announced by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
Jordan-Muti is one of eight individuals in the United States facing charges following a proactive investigation by the FDLE. Authorities uncovered advertisements on social media platforms, including TikTok, offering large amounts of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) for sale. The investigation revealed a group led by Mehmet Berk Bozuyuk, a resident of Turkey, that transferred massive amounts of CSAM to buyers, including the eight men in the U.S.
Attorney General Uthmeier emphasized the severity of the crimes, stating, “Every image of child abuse leaves a lasting scar on an innocent life, and we will aggressively prosecute these heinous crimes.” He also highlighted concerns about the use of social media platforms for such activities, noting, “It’s disgusting that child sexual abuse material is advertised in plain view on apps such as TikTok.”
