Canadian Sentenced to 30 Months for Child Pornography Possession
Sabin Francis Donohoe, 26, of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for possession of child pornography.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge Nancy D. Freudenthal imposed the sentence on June 13. According to court documents, Donohoe was a seasonal employee for a concessionaire in Yellowstone National Park in 2019.
In August of 2019, he and his girlfriend visited the Fort Collins, Colorado area for a weekend where Donohoe lost his phone. Someone found the phone and saw child pornography on it while trying to identity the owner.
They handed it over to the Loveland Police Department. The Loveland Police Department secured a search warrant and saw evidence of child pornography and a text message to call a number if the phone was found.
The number belonged to Donohoe’s girlfriend, who identified him as the phone’s owner and gave the officer their address in Yellowstone.
Officers from Loveland Police Department then contacted the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch, and a joint investigation was initiated.
Detectives conducted a non-custodial interview of Donohoe. The next day he fled to Canada.
He was eventually arrested in Canada on July 25, 2022, and extradited back to the U.S. on November 27, 2023 to face charges.
This crime was investigated by the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch, the Loveland Police Department, and Yellowstone law enforcement officers.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christyne M. Martens.
