Albuquerque man, Bentley Streett, 46, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for child exploitation charges. Streett was found guilty of traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, producing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, attempting to produce child pornography, distributing child pornography, and possessing child pornography.

Streett also admitted to attempting to persuade several minors to produce pornography and send the images to him, and that on January 20, 2014, he sent images of child pornography to one of the minors.
Streett’s crimes were investigated by the FBI Albuquerque Field Office, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, the New Mexico ICAC Task Force, the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office, and the Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (RCFL). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Mease as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
