Adam Carney Conn, Child Pornography, Iowa 2023

A Davenport man has been taken off the streets for good after being sentenced to a lengthy prison term for his role in a child pornography ring.

Adam Carney Conn, 40, was sentenced on February 27, 2023, to 210 months in prison for Receiving Child Pornography and Possession of Obscene Visual Representation of the Sexual Abuse of Children.

The investigation into Conn’s activities began when the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received a cybertip that images and videos of child pornography were downloaded to two of Conn’s Google accounts.

Conn’s Google accounts had over 1,100 images of child pornography, which were categorized and organized. When law enforcement arrested Conn, he was in possession of electronic devices that contained several hundred more images of child pornography.

The investigation also revealed that Conn had sexually abused a child, which was confirmed during sentencing. The court found the evidence of the abuse to be credible.

Conn’s sentence was ordered to be served consecutively to a sentence he is currently serving in the Iowa Department of Corrections. Following his prison term, Conn was ordered to serve ten years of supervised release and pay $24,000 of restitution.

United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement. The Davenport Police Department investigated the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse.
