Dylan Joseph Minor Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison for Producing Child Pornography

Dylan Joseph Minor, a 27-year-old man from Chamois, Missouri, has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison without parole for producing child pornography.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Minor pleaded guilty to the charges on July 20, 2023. He will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and will be subject to federal and state sex offender registration requirements, which may apply throughout his life.

The case began in October 2022, when a detective with the Franklin County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department received a Cybertip from National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The Cybertip indicated that a Kik user, later identified as Minor, had uploaded multiple images and/or videos of suspected child pornography.

On October 17, 2022, the detective executed a search warrant at Minor’s residence. Minor admitted that he had taken pornographic photos of the child victim and traded them with others on the Kik application. The detective analyzed two cell phones seized from Minor and found thousands of images and more than 100 videos depicting child pornography.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley S. Turner. It was investigated by the Franklin County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department.

Minor’s 15-year sentence is a result of his guilty plea to producing child pornography. He will serve his sentence in federal prison without the possibility of parole.

As part of his sentence, Minor will be required to register as a sex offender in both federal and state systems. This requirement will apply for the rest of his life.

The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc.
