An attorney in Florida who fought for child sexual abuse victims pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to possession of child pornography.
Prosecutors say when Michael Dolce was arrested in March, he had nearly 1,997 images and five videos of child sexual abuse materials on his laptop. He faces a possible sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 when he’s sentenced in December.On March 15, FBI agents with a search warrant for Dolce's apartment and car paid him a visit.
WPEC's previous coverage of Dolce's arrest included details about the man's LinkedIn profile, which reportedly stated he represented adult and child survivors of sexual abuse. After a thorough search on the social media platform, it was concluded the profile no longer exists. Dolce, who worked as a partner and shareholder at the firm, was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1995 and graduated from Stetson University's College of Law in 1994.
