Tyler Denby, Child Porn Possession, Nebraska 2024

A federal jury in Lincoln, Nebraska, has convicted 39-year-old Tyler Denby of transporting and possessing child pornography, bringing him a potential prison term of up to 20 years on each count and a minimum of 5 years on the transportation count.

The verdict was announced by U.S. Attorney Susan Lehr on August 21, 2024. United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis presided over the trial and set sentencing for November 21, 2024.

Denby, a former resident of Alliance, Nebraska, was identified as the suspect in a series of incidents on July 30, 2021, when the Alliance Police Department received two separate calls for assistance concerning an individual threatening others in the Alliance area.

During the encounter, officers gained probable cause to search Denby's vehicle, which led to the discovery of a stolen firearm, marijuana pipe, and several electronic devices. A search warrant was obtained for the electronic devices, which contained a substantial amount of child pornography files.

Denby admitted to having child pornography on the devices and traveling from Montana to Nebraska with the child pornography on his devices while in custody.

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. The case was investigated by the Alliance Police Department.

Tyler Denby, 39, has been charged with one count of transportation of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
