A California man was sentenced to federal prison for possessing child pornography involving a 16-year-old girl he met online.
Terrell Stanley, 25, was sentenced to three years and ten months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Stanley must register as a sex offender upon his release from federal prison.
The conviction stemmed from an incident on April 12, 2022, when Stanley knowingly possessed video files with child pornography.
The videos involved a 16-year-old female that Stanley met online. The video files were obtained without the minor’s consent and were subsequently used to attempt to coerce the victim into providing more pornographic files.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Stanley was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. He was sentenced on August 26, 2024, after pleading guilty on June 18, 2024, to the charge of Possession of Child Pornography.
