Child Pornography Charges Filed Against Warren Man
A 19-year-old Warren man has been indicted on child pornography charges, announced U.S. Attorney Carole S. Rendon for the Northern District of Ohio.
David Hafely faces charges of receiving, distributing, transporting, and possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
According to the indictment, from November 22, 2015, to January 4, 2016, Hafely knowingly received and distributed numerous computer files containing visual depictions of real minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The indictment also alleges that during the same period, Hafely knowingly transported numerous visual depictions of real minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Additionally, the indictment charges that on January 5, 2016, Hafely possessed a Kindle Fire HD Tablet containing child pornography.
If convicted, Hafely’s sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including his prior criminal record, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum, and in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Sullivan following an investigation by the Cleveland office of the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
