A British national has been sentenced to 85 years in prison for his part in a child pornography trafficking conspiracy in the United States.
Domminich Shaw, 35, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William T. Lawrence of the Southern District of Indiana on February 23, 2016, who ordered that he also serve a lifetime term of supervised release.
Shaw pleaded guilty on October 22, 2015, to 26 counts, including conspiracy to advertise child pornography and conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography.
He was indicted by a grand jury in Indianapolis on February 23, 2011, and was extradited from the United Kingdom on December 20, 2014.
In 2005, Shaw was convicted in the U.K. of ‘indecent assault’ on four different females under the age of 13.
According to plea documents, Shaw created and administered a website that contained child pornography involving infants and toddlers. This website allowed Shaw and other co-conspirators to distribute and advertise to each other images and videos, and send one another related messages, so that the child pornography would be shared with other members.
Shaw participated on the website under aliases, including ‘Nepi’ and several variations of that word. The word ‘nepi’ is associated with nepiophilia, the sexual attraction to babies, toddlers and very young children.
