A North Ridgeville man has been sentenced to over 10 years in prison for downloading nearly 500 videos of young children being raped and sexually assaulted.
Dana F. Cain, 49, pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography and possession of a computer that contained child pornography.
Cain downloaded nearly 500 movie files from May 2015 through January 2017, which included images of toddlers and young girls being raped and sexually assaulted, according to court documents.
The disturbing images were found on an Apple MacBook computer at Cain’s home on Avon Belden Road in North Ridgeville.
U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman for the Northern District of Ohio emphasized the severity of the crime, stating, ‘These are cases with real victims, children whose lives will be forever changed because adults assaulted and violated them.’
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Sullivan, following an investigation by the FBI, the North Ridgeville Police Department, the Avon Police Department, and the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Cain was sentenced to 121 months in prison.
This is a serious reminder of the importance of prosecuting those who distribute and possess child pornography, and the devastating impact it has on the victims and their families.
