State Attorney Ed Brodsky announced today that Wilney Orozco De Leon has been convicted after jury trial of four counts of Sexual Battery Upon a Person Less than 18 Years of Age by a Person in Familial Authority. These crimes were committed between May 2022 and March 2023 and investigated by the North Port Police Department and lead detective Kishia Veigel. Judge Danielle Brewer presided over the three-day trial that was held at the Sarasota County Courthouse beginning on February 23, 2026.

A Sentencing Hearing was conducted on June 17, 2026, during which Judge Brewer sentenced Wilney Orozco De Leon to 67 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. Wilney Orozco De Leon, who is currently 36 years old, will also be designated as a Sexual Predator and, upon his release from prison, will be required to register with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in accordance with Florida Law.

The lead prosecutor in the case, Assistant State Attorney Jeff Feher commented, “Wilney Orozco De Leon chose to become a father figure in this child’s life, then exploited the trust and authority he gained to sexually abuse her during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life. The evidence presented at trial established a sustained pattern of emotional manipulation and threats designed to prevent the child from disclosing the abuse. While the profound impact of these crimes on the child and her family will endure, this 67-year sentence provides the assurance that Wilney Orozco De Leon will no longer have the opportunity to harm anyone else.”
