Jared Daily, Child Pornography Distribution, Iowa 2020

Jared Daily, 34, of Belle Plaine, Iowa, has been charged with distributing, receiving, and accessing child pornography, according to federal authorities.

The charges against Daily are contained in an Indictment unsealed on September 3, 2020, in United States District Court in Cedar Rapids.

Between January and June 2020, Daily allegedly knowingly distributed child pornography, received child pornography, and accessed child pornography on a cell phone, according to the Indictment.

If convicted, Daily faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years' imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of 60 years' imprisonment, a $750,000 fine, $102,300 in special assessments, and at least 5 years and up to life on supervised release following any imprisonment.

Daily appeared on September 9, 2020, in federal court in Cedar Rapids for a detention hearing and was released on bond. Daily's next appearance for trial is set for November 2, 2020.

As with any criminal case, a charge is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Assistant United States Attorney Mark Tremmel is prosecuting the case, with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation conducting the investigation.

The case is being 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.
