Child Pornography Crime Rocks West Virginia Community
Sophia, W.Va. – In a disturbing case of child exploitation, 33-year-old David Alan Hunt has been sentenced to four years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release for possessing child pornography, announced United States Attorney Booth Goodwin.
The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Irene C. Berger on no date specified for the crime committed on March 23, 2012. The investigation revealed that Hunt possessed approximately 60 images of child pornography, including sexually explicit images of prepubescent minors and minors engaged in sexual acts.
The child pornography was discovered on Hunt’s computers and a computer disc, both of which were located at his home in Sophia, West Virginia. The investigation also revealed that Hunt received and shared child pornography by using a file sharing network that allows users to download files from computers around the world.
“The exploitation of innocent children is a heinous crime,” stated U.S. Attorney Goodwin. “Child Pornography has a highly destructive impact on the most vulnerable segment of society and my office will work diligently to ensure that individuals like Mr. Hunt are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
The West Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Lisa Johnston handled the prosecution.
This case was prosecuted as part of United States Attorney Goodwin’s ongoing initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse in the Southern District of West Virginia.
