Kevin Lillis, Distributing Child Sexual Abuse Material, Louisiana 2025

NEW ORLEANS – A Metairie man was sentenced to 175 months in prison for distributing child sexual abuse material, US Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced.

Kevin Lillis, 51, was sentenced by United States District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo on July 30, 2025, after previously pleading guilty to distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252(a)(2).

The sentence also included 15 years of supervised release after Lillis’s term of imprisonment, a $100 mandatory special assessment fee, and a requirement that Lillis register as a sex offender. A restitution hearing is set for October 28, 2025.

According to court documents, Lillis was investigated after receiving a case referral based on evidence gathered in an unrelated investigation. Special agents with the FBI executed a search warrant at Lillis’s residence in March 2024, seizing electronic devices that contained files depicting the sexual victimization of children and obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children.

The files, which included more than 600 images and 6 videos, depicted the sexual victimization of children, including newborn infants approximately less than one day old at the time the files were created. The files also included images portraying sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of violence.

Lillis distributed the files on numerous days between January 2024 and March 11, 2024, and had conversations with other users of end-to-end encrypted messaging applications, including on or about November 19, 2023, December 20, 2023, February 5, 2024, and March 5, 2024, in which Lillis stated he had engaged in hands-on sexual contact with multiple prepubescent minors as young as between eight and ten years old over the past two decades.

US Attorney Simpson praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Jordan Ginsberg is in charge of the prosecution.
