Nathaniel Gareth Doggett Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison for Distributing Child Pornography
A 22-year-old man from Doddridge, Arkansas, has been sentenced to 16 years in federal prison for distributing child pornography.
Nathaniel Gareth Doggett, 22, was sentenced to 198 months in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for distributing child pornography to a minor. The sentencing hearing was held in the U.S. District Court in Texarkana, Arkansas.
According to court documents, Doggett used an online social media platform to distribute child pornography to a minor. The crime came to light after a CyberTip was submitted to the FBI by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. When interviewed by FBI agents, Doggett admitted to downloading and distributing child pornography, including files of pre-pubescent children, through the social media application.
Doggett was indicted by a Grand Jury in the Western District of Arkansas in June 2023 and entered a plea of guilty in August 2025. His conviction requires him to register as a sex offender.
U.S. Attorney Clay Fowlkes of the Western District of Arkansas made the announcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Miller County Sheriff’s Office, the El Dorado Police Department, and the Arkansas State Police investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Devon Still and Graham Jones prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
Doggett’s sentence serves as a reminder of the severity of child pornography crimes and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable. The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to protecting children from exploitation and abuse.
