Collier County jury convicts Snapchat predator who faces up to 1,020 years in prison, AG says

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced on Wednesday that a Collier County jury has convicted a Naples man on several charges, including possession of child sexual abuse materials and transmission of child pornography.

according to a news release from the office of the Attorney General, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was assigned multiple tips regarding Chandler Christian Jones, 30, of Naples. The tips involved uploads of child sexual abuse material to Kik Messenger and Snapchat from IP addresses traced to Jones' residence and accounts linked to him.

In July of 2022, FDLE agents with the assistance of the Collier County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant of Jones' home and found numerous CSAM files on multiple electronic devices and a phone on his person.

Jones was convicted on dozens of felony charges and faces up to 1,020 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. His lowest permissible sentence is 86 years. Sentencing is scheduled for August.
