For Immediate Release

April 17, 2026 

OCOEE, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Antonio Brantley, 18, of Ocoee, on two counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. The arrest is part of FDLE’s statewide initiative to identify and apprehend offenders who target children and share files depicting child sexual abuse.

The investigation began in December 2025 after FDLE agents received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The tip reported that an individual had uploaded, viewed, and stored multiple files depicting child sexual abuse through an instant‑messaging app. Agents later identified Brantley as the user of that account.

On April 13, 2026, FDLE Cybercrime Task Force agents served a search warrant for his person and seized his cellphone. 

Brantley was taken into custody and transported to the Orange County Jail. 

The case is being prosecuted by Attorney General James Uthmeier’s Office of Statewide Prosecution.

The investigation remains active. Additional charges may be forthcoming pending further forensic analysis.

If you have any information concerning Brantley, please contact the Orlando Regional Operations Center at (407) 245-0888.
