Daniel Courville, Child Pornography Offense, Arizona 2018

A Tucson man has been found guilty of accessing child pornography, a crime that can land him in prison for up to 20 years.

Daniel Courville, 42, was convicted of knowingly accessing with intent to view child pornography depicting pre-pubescent minors.

Courville, a former computer programmer and specialist for Pima County Justice Court, was indicted by a federal grand jury after an investigation revealed that he had searched for, downloaded, and accessed child pornography images and videos over the internet.

The investigation was conducted by agents from Homeland Security Investigations in Tucson, and the case was prosecuted by Carin C. Duryee and Nathaniel J. Walters of the District of Arizona, Tucson.

Courville will be sentenced on October 23, 2018, and faces a lifetime of supervised release with stringent sex offender conditions, including the requirement that he register as a sex offender.

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

The project marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
