Scott Lantzy, 49, Sentenced to 19 Years in Prison for Child Pornography Offenses

BAY CITY, Michigan – A Roscommon County man was sentenced yesterday to 235 months in federal prison on charges of possessing, receiving, and transporting child pornography, announced United States Attorney Dawn N. Ison.

Scott Lantzy, 49, was convicted by a federal jury in October 2021, after a 4-day trial conducted before United States District Judge Thomas Ludington in Bay City. The jury deliberated approximately 45 minutes before returning the guilty verdicts.

Lantzy is a serial sex offender with four prior CSC convictions, one conviction for accosting a minor, and a Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) related conviction spanning from 1998 until present. Lantzy came to the attention of law enforcement when he impersonated an EMT at a high school football game.

Lantzy was convicted of two counts of possession/access with intent to view child pornography; one count of possession of child pornography; one count of transportation of child pornography; and one count of receipt of child pornography.

“Protecting children from dangerous child predators is one of my office’s top priorities,” said U.S. Attorney Ison. “I commend our law enforcement partners for their hard work and dedication to investigating and prosecuting crimes against children.”

The case was investigated by the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Department and special agents of Homeland Security Investigations in Sault Ste. Marie and Detroit, with assistance from the Michigan State Police. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Tim Turkelson and Alison Furtaw.
