Defendant Sentenced to 44 Years for Child Pornography
Matthew Lee Dale Taylor, 32, of Hobbs, has been sentenced to over 44 years in prison for child pornography charges.
On July 19, 2023, Taylor pled guilty in federal court to transportation of child pornography, possession of obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children, and being a registered sex offender committing a felony sex offense involving a minor.
According to court records, on December 6, 2021, the FBI received a Cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Taylor had uploaded 51 videos containing child pornography to a Dropbox account on July 14, 2021.
In his plea, Taylor acknowledged that he knew the videos included children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Taylor was previously convicted of possession of a visual medium of sexual exploitation of children in 2017 and was required to register as a sex offender.
Upon his release from prison, Taylor will be subject to lifetime supervised release.
The Roswell Resident Agency of the FBI Albuquerque Field Office investigated this case with assistance from the NCMEC.
Assistant United States Attorney Matilda McCarthy Villalobos is prosecuting the case as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
