A Dover, Delaware man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for production of child pornography.
Daniel Arthur Hill, 30, was sentenced to serve 300 months in prison followed by 15 years of supervised release.
Hill pleaded guilty to two counts of production of child pornography on Nov. 9, 2017, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
According to his guilty plea, Hill had met a person online who he believed was a 14-year-old girl and with whom he had arranged to engage in sexual intercourse.
Following his arrest by the Delaware State Police Department on Dec. 16, 2015, a court-authorized search of Hill’s electronic devices revealed evidence that Hill had produced images of child pornography depicting two minors under the age of 12.
Hill had also distributed child pornography to others via online chat groups.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Delaware State Police investigated this case.
Trial Attorney Nadia Prinz of the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Graham L. Robinson of the District of Delaware prosecuted the case.
