A 33-year-old man from Washington D.C. was convicted of transporting child pornography after a witness found disturbing videos of him in a child’s bedroom.
According to court documents, a woman discovered five videos and one image on a phone showing Dontrey Bell sneaking into a girl’s bedroom and engaging in explicit behavior near the child while she was asleep.
The videos, recorded between August 2022 and April 2023, showed Bell exposing himself and manipulating his genitals in close proximity to the child.
Bell pleaded guilty to one count of transportation of child pornography on July 24, 2025. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced him to 135 months in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro called Bell’s actions a ‘profound betrayal of trust’ and vowed to hold offenders accountable for preying on children.
