A Lemoore, California man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for receipt and distribution of child pornography.
United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced that Senior United States District Judge Oliver W. Wanger sentenced Daryl Curtis Glenn, 46, of Lemoore, to 15 years in prison to be followed by 20 years of supervised release for his convictions of two counts of receiving or distributing images of child pornography. He will be required to register as a sex offender, and the judge also ordered him to pay $500 in restitution to one victim whose images he had obtained and made available to others.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber Crimes Task Forces in Marion, Ill. and Fresno. Assistant United States Attorneys David Gappa and Brian Enos prosecuted the case.
An undercover FBI agent in Marion, Ill. determined that on October 25, 2007, Glenn made hundreds of images of suspected child pornography available to users of a peer-to-peer file-sharing program. The undercover agent received six images of child pornography from the defendant and determined the location of the defendant’s computer. Fresno FBI Cyber Crimes Task Force agents executed a federal search warrant at Glenn’s residence on January 29, 2008, and seized a computer, an external hard drive, and other items. Forensic analysis of that evidence revealed that Glenn had used the computer on October 25, 2007, a day that he called in sick to his employer, to log into his e-mail account and view numerous images of child pornography. The analysis also recovered almost 2700 images in still and video formats of children being sexually abused. Some of the images depicted the rape by adult males of children apparently as young as two, three, and four years of age. One video demonstrated how common household items could be used to molest infants and prepubescent children. When imposing the sentence, the judge noted that Congress has stated emphatically that punishments in child pornography cases need to reflect the seriousness of the crimes. Glenn received sentencing enhancements based on the number of images he had collected, as well as the ages of the victims and the violence to which they were subjected.
Glenn has been in custody since his conviction by a jury on December 17, 2009.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, PSC mobilizes federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
