Former Beaverton Mayor Dennis Denny Doyle, 73, has pleaded guilty to illegally possessing child pornography, according to a recent federal court case in Portland, Oregon.
Doyle waived indictment and pleaded guilty to a single count of possession of child pornography. Court documents reveal that between November 2014 and December 2015, Doyle knowingly and unlawfully possessed digital media containing child pornography.
Several of the images Doyle possessed were of children under the age of 12 who had been identified as known sexually exploited minors by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
On March 3, 2022, Doyle was charged by criminal information with one count of possession of child pornography. This case was investigated by FBI Portland’s Child Exploitation Task Force (CETF). It is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.
Doyle will be sentenced on January 24, 2023, by U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Mosman. The FBI encourages anyone with information about the physical or online exploitation of children to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
According to federal law, child pornography is defined as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor. The images and videos depicting such crimes not only document victims’ exploitation and abuse but also cause them to suffer re-victimization each time the image of their abuse is viewed.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Justice Department to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.
