Everett J. Dillon, Child Sexual Abuse Material, Louisiana 2022

A Golden Meadow man has been sentenced to 135 months imprisonment for his role in possessing child sexual abuse material.

Everett J. Dillon, 34, was sentenced on February 8, 2022, for Possession of Materials Involving the Sexual Exploitation of Children in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2252(a)(4)(B) and (b)(2).

According to documents filed in federal court, the case against Dillon developed as a result of a lead to the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) that a KIK user had sent explicit videos of children, aged approximately ten years of age.

On December 1, 2020, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents along with the LBI executed a search warrant at Dillon’s home in Golden Meadow. Agents advised Dillon of his Miranda rights and, after waiving his rights, Dillon admitted that the KIK account and email address were his and that he stored child pornography on his electronic equipment.

HSI computer forensic examiners located over 4,000 images and videos depicting the sexual victimization of children on the defendant’s AT&T cellular phone. The images and videos depicted pre-pubescent girls, including toddlers, engaged in sexual acts with adults.

U.S. District Judge Wendy B. Vitter sentenced Dillon to 135 months imprisonment, followed by 8 years of supervised release, $27,000 in restitution, and payment of a $100 mandatory special assessment fee.

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 Department of Justice.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office would also like to acknowledge the assistance of the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations with this matter.

The prosecution of this case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian M. Klebba, Chief of the Financial Crimes Unit.
