Aliquippa Man Charged with Producing and Possessing Child Pornography
A Beaver County resident has been hit with federal charges for producing and possessing child pornography, the latest in a string of alarming crimes plaguing the region. Tyler Seevers, 24, of Aliquippa, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on four counts of violating federal child pornography laws.
According to the indictment, Seevers employed, used, persuaded, induced, enticed, and coerced one of two child victims to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions, namely photographs, of such conduct on multiple occasions in 2014.
The indictment further charges that Seevers unlawfully possessed, in computer graphics files, photographs depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on July 27, 2014, and on Aug. 2, 2014.
Seevers is facing a maximum total sentence of 30 years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both, under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. The actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Hopewell Township Police Department conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
It is essential to note that an indictment is an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities immediately.
