A Pittsburgh resident was sentenced to 20 years of incarceration for violating federal law involving the sexual exploitation of a minor, announced Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti.
United States District Judge Marilyn J. Horan imposed the sentence on Anthony Hill, 44, on October 8, 2025.
According to information presented to the Court, on July 29, 2008, Hill was convicted in the Western District of Pennsylvania on one count of possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of a minor.
In 2024, while still serving a term of supervised release for the 2008 conviction, Hill committed new criminal conduct when he attempted to and did receive sexually explicit videos of a 17-year-old while communicating online with the minor between February 28, 2024, until on or about April 18, 2024.
Assistant United States Attorneys Heidi M. Grogan and Maureen Sheehan-Balchon prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
Acting United States Attorney Rivetti commended Homeland Security Investigations–Pittsburgh for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Hill.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Hill’s 20-year sentence will be followed by 20 years of supervised release.
