A Central Florida man charged with trafficking hundreds of pounds of counterfeit Viagra and Cialis — drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction — is slated to make his initial appearance in Orlando federal court Friday.

Gregory Bochter of Port Orange already signed a plea agreement in the case, admitting to packaging and shipping pills he received from two companies in China.

He faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $2 million for a count of trafficking in counterfeit goods.

According to Bochter's plea agreement, federal agents made several undercover purchases from the two companies throughout 2010 that the Florida man shipped.

Those shipments contained hundreds of counterfeit Cialis pills, records show.

In October 2010,U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcementagents seized a parcel containing 1,312 counterfeit Viagra pills that Bochter was trying to import into the country from China.

The address on the parcel was Bochter's post office box in Daytona Beach.

Soon after, ICE sent Bochter a notice alerting him to the seizure, but he continued to import and ship the fake drugs.

From October 2010 to December 2010, Bochter mailed 640 shipments of counterfeit Viagra and Cialis, with a total weight of roughly 365 pounds.

Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company that had the exclusive right to manufacture Viagra and distribute the drug in the U.S., confirmed that the counterfeit Viagra tablets contained only 30 percent of the active ingredient of a legitimate pill.
