Fayetteville Man Sentenced for Child Pornography Charges
A 35-year-old Fayetteville, Arkansas man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child pornography.
Joshua Box was sentenced yesterday to 180 months in federal prison followed by thirty years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a total of $13,000.00 in restitution.
The charges against Box stem from a May 2018 home visit and compliance check on his residence by Arkansas Community Correction (ACC), as he is a supervised registered sex offender.
During the visit, Box admitted to ACC officers that he had downloaded child pornography from the Dark Web and saved it to his hard drive. His electronic devices were seized by Homeland Security Investigators, and a forensic review yielded images and videos of child pornography.
Box was indicted in May 2018 on federal charges and plead guilty in August 2018.
This case was investigated by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Assistant United States Attorney Denis Dean prosecuted the case for the United States.
Box will serve his sentence in federal prison, with the possibility of supervised release upon completion of his prison term.
