A 49-year-old Iowa City man has been sentenced to federal prison for downloading and possessing child pornography.
United States Chief District Court Judge John A. Jarvey sentenced Michael Alan White to 144 months of imprisonment for Receipt of Child Pornography.
Following his prison term, White was ordered to serve five years of supervised release, pay $10,000.00 in restitution to the two victims, and pay $100.00 to the Crime Victims’ Fund.
The investigation into White’s activities began in 2018 when law enforcement intelligence retrieved information from an Internet Protocol (IP) address that certain child pornography images were being downloaded.
A returned subpoena from the internet provider listed Michael White as the registered user of the internet service from which the IP address originated.
On March 7, 2019, a search warrant was conducted on White’s residence. Forensic examination of four electronic devices obtained in the search warrant revealed multiple depictions of child pornography.
White had approximately fifty images and/or videos of child pornography on his devices. Many of the victims depicted in White’s images have been identified through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
This matter was investigated by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
