A Lincoln man has been sentenced to 38 years in prison for producing child pornography.
On
In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security received information that an ISP subscriber who resided in Lincoln, Nebraska was uploading child pornography in a chat room.
A federal search warrant was served at Hughes’s residence in Lincoln, for evidence relating to production, distribution and possession of child pornography.
As a result of the search, cellular telephones and other computer storage media were seized for forensic analysis and investigators found evidence that proved Hughes has been producing child pornography involving prepubescent minor victims.
Hughes will be required to be on supervised release for the remainder of his life and register as a sex offender after serving his prison sentence.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
