An Iowa City man was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for receiving child pornography.
The case began in April 2021, when law enforcement received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Ivan Galvan, 31, had uploaded a video containing child sexual abuse material.
Further investigation led law enforcement to Galvan’s social media account, where they found an additional eight videos and one image containing child sexual abuse material.
In November 2021, law enforcement searched Galvan’s Iowa City residence and found electronic devices, some of which contained additional videos and images of child sexual abuse material.
After completing his term of imprisonment, Galvan will be required to serve a five-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
Galvan was also ordered to pay $9,000 in restitution.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal made the announcement. This case was investigated by the Joint Forensic Analysis Cyber Team (JFACT).
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006.
