Iowa Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Receiving and Possessing Child Pornography, Ordered to Pay $37,000 in Restitution
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa announced on November 12 that Kristopher Jacob Stoker, 24, of Long Grove, in Scott County, Iowa, was sentenced that day to 15 years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child pornography.
According to public court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received CyberTips that an account, later determined to be associated with Stoker, had received files containing child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement searched Stoker's Long Grove residence and seized electronic devices. A forensic examination of the devices showed that Stoker used them to receive, view, and possess images and videos containing child sexual abuse material.
After completing his prison term, Stoker will be required to serve a seven-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. He was also ordered to pay $37,000 in restitution and a $1,000 AVAA assessment.
United States Attorney David C. Waterman made the announcement. The Scott County Sheriff's Office investigated the case. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006, led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, to combat child exploitation via the internet and to identify and rescue victims.
