Jeremy M. Boyd, 25, of Omaha, Nebraska, has been sentenced to 102 months in prison for distributing child pornography.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Boyd’s sentence was handed down by Chief United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. on an unknown date.
The charges against Boyd include receipt and distribution of child pornography, which is a federal crime with no parole in the U.S. system.
After completing his term of imprisonment, Boyd will begin a 5-year term of supervised release. He must also pay an assessment of $1,500 to victims of child pornography offenses.
The investigation into Boyd’s activities began on April 6, 2020, when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) forwarded a CyberTip to the Nebraska Internet Crimes against Children (ICAC) Task Force in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The CyberTip was received by NCMEC from MediaLab/Kik on February 27, 2020. Kik is a freeware instant messaging mobile app available for use on cell phones. According to the report, a Kik user uploaded several video files depicting child pornography.
Investigators used the Kik account information to obtain Boyd’s internet protocol (IP) address, which led them to his residential address. Investigators obtained a warrant and searched the residence on July 2, 2020. Three devices (a black gaming computer, an LG Tribute smartphone, and a Lexar USB flash drive) were seized. Investigators interviewed Boyd, who made admissions about receiving and viewing child pornography and having previously used the Kik app.
A forensic examination of the gaming computer yielded 16 additional digital videos depicting child pornography. At least one video depicts the sexual abuse or exploitation of a 3- to 5-year-old female.
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.
The case was investigated by the Nebraska Internet Crimes against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
