A Whitestown man has been sentenced to over 56 years in prison for producing child pornography.
Daniel Alan Jines, 37, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William Lawrence to a total term of imprisonment of 680 months, which is equivalent to 56.5 years.
Jines was convicted of 10 counts of producing child pornography, one count of receiving child pornography, and one count of possessing child pornography.
The investigation into Jines’ child pornography activity began in 2013 when law enforcement detected previously identified child pornography files being offered for download through an internet connection traced back to Jines’ home.
A search of Jines’ home on February 20, 2013, uncovered a large, particularly disturbing collection of images of the sexual abuse of children. Jines was arrested that evening for his receipt and possession of those images.
Further investigation revealed that Jines had sexually abused a minor female for several years, beginning when she was as young as 8 years old. Jines videotaped a portion of that abuse, occurring when the child was 10-13 years old, between May 2008 and May 2010.
Jines’ sentence also includes lifetime supervised release and a $5,000 fine.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
