内布拉斯加州卡尼男子因儿童色情罪被判25年联邦监禁
据内布拉斯加州联邦检察官办公室10月7日发布的消息，卡尼市（Kearney）男子保罗·格雷（Paul Gray）当天在林肯市联邦法院被判处300个月——即25年——联邦监禁，罪名涉及儿童色情。
据报道，格雷因持有与传播儿童性虐待材料被定罪。联邦检方表示，证据显示格雷收集并分享了描绘未成年人性剥削的图片与视频。
除300个月刑期外，格雷刑满后还将接受长期监督释放，并须登记为性犯罪者。这一量刑反映了联邦法律对此类侵害儿童犯罪的严厉态度。
联邦官员表示，此案由联邦调查局与中部内布拉斯加州地方执法部门联合调查，并作为司法部全国性打击儿童性剥削行动“安全童年计划”（Project Safe Childhood）的一部分提起公诉。该计划整合联邦、州与地方资源，追查犯罪者、解救受害者。
检方敦促知悉儿童被剥削线索者联系执法部门或全国失踪与受虐儿童中心。
此案是联邦检察官办公室今年在内布拉斯加州办理的多起儿童剥削案件之一，检方表示将继续优先打击此类犯罪。
Kearney Man Sentenced to 300 Months in Federal Prison on Child Pornography Charges
KEARNEY, Neb. — A Kearney man was sentenced Oct. 7 to 300 months — 25 years — in federal prison on child pornography charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Nebraska announced.
Paul Gray was sentenced in federal court in Lincoln after being convicted on charges stemming from an investigation into the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material. Federal prosecutors said the evidence showed Gray collected and shared images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of minors.
In addition to the 300-month prison term, Gray will face a lengthy period of supervised release following his incarceration, and will be required to register as a sex offender. The sentence reflects the gravity federal law assigns to crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children.
Federal officials said the case was investigated by the FBI and local law enforcement partners in central Nebraska, and prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, the Justice Department's nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation. The initiative brings together federal, state and local resources to identify offenders and rescue victims.
Prosecutors urged anyone with information about the exploitation of children to contact law enforcement or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The case is one of several child exploitation prosecutions the U.S. Attorney's Office has brought in Nebraska this year, and prosecutors said such crimes remain a top priority.
