Christopher Jeorge Millican, Child Sexual Exploitation, California 2018

A 26-year-old man from Lemoore, California has been charged with child sexual exploitation offenses, according to a federal indictment.

Christopher Jeorge Millican, of Lemoore, was indicted on two counts: sexual exploitation of children and receipt of child pornography, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.

According to court documents, a parent contacted Snapchat in July 2018 to report that Millican had been 'flirting' with an 11-year-old girl and soliciting pictures of and location information for the child.

Snapchat reviewed Millican's account and discovered that he had been soliciting several minors for sexually explicit content.

This case is the product of an investigation by the Central Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, specifically the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the Hanford Police Department, the Fresno office of Homeland Security Investigations, and several local police agencies across the United States.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gappa is prosecuting the case.

If convicted, Millican faces a mandatory minimum prison term of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years for the sexual exploitation charge, a mandatory minimum prison term of five years and a maximum of 20 years for receipt of child pornography, and a fine up to $250,000 for each count.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
