Marcus Dunn, Possession of Child Pornography, Nebraska 2024

Grimy Times has learned that a repeat offender has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for possession of child pornography in Nebraska. Marcus Dunn, 27, of Omaha, was found guilty of the crime after a prior conviction.

According to the federal prosecutors, Dunn was on probation in Douglas County for two separate cases when he was found in possession of the images and videos. The images and videos included minors under the age of 12 years old engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

The search warrant was executed on November 15, 2019, at Dunn’s residence in Omaha. Law enforcement collected electronic devices, including two phones and one tablet, and an additional phone was later found on Dunn’s person. Dunn confirmed with officers that he controlled and used two Gmail accounts.

A review of Dunn’s devices and accounts located 378 images of children engaging in sexually explicit conduct, of which 141 were unique, and 20 videos of children engaging in sexually explicit conduct, of which 16 were unique.

One example found in a Gmail account belonging to Dunn was a toddler being subjected to penile-vaginal penetration by an adult male. The images and videos were discovered during a search of Dunn’s electronic devices and online accounts.

Dunn will have to serve a lifetime term of supervised release after his release from custody and will be required to register as a sex offender. He was also ordered to pay $1,100 in assessments. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

The investigation was led by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office as part of the FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force. Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
