Waipahu 男子假扮少年诱骗十余名儿童制作性剥削影像：被判22年联邦监禁
美国夏威夷区联邦检察官 Ken Sorenson 宣布，现年28岁、住在夏威夷州 Waipahu 的 David Yamamoto 因制作儿童色情制品，被联邦地区法官 Shanlyn A.S. Park 判处264个月（22年）联邦监禁，另加10年监督释放。量刑于2026年10月15日在 Honolulu 的夏威夷联邦地区法院进行，Park 法官在宣判结束时当庭将 Yamamoto 收押。
法庭记录显示，2023年至2025年间，Yamamoto 利用网络游戏与即时通讯应用，在面向青少年与儿童前少年的游戏平台上假扮少年，寻找并诱骗位于美国与海外的儿童，让他们向他发送自己的性剥削视频与图像。他以金钱与礼物为报酬，诱使十余名儿童与他进行性剥削直播视频通话，并按其指示发送性剥削影像。
记录还显示，Yamamoto 与年龄在10岁至17岁之间的未成年人交换了数万条网络信息，并在信息中指示未成年人作出特定的性剥削姿势与行为，以及模仿他发送的成人色情图像。
联邦检察官 Sorenson 表示，Yamamoto 给众多受害人造成的毁灭性伤害无法挽回，22年的刑期向那些猎食儿童的人发出了严厉信号，其办公室将与联邦调查局（FBI）等伙伴继续追查此类犯罪者。
Waipahu Man Sentenced to 22 Years for Grooming Children Online to Produce Explicit Images
United States Attorney Ken Sorenson for the District of Hawaii announced that David Yamamoto, 28, of Waipahu, Hawaii, was sentenced by United States District Judge Shanlyn A.S. Park to 264 months (22 years) in federal prison for the production of child pornography, followed by 10 years of supervised release. The sentencing took place on October 15, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii in Honolulu, and Judge Park remanded Yamamoto into custody immediately at the end of sentencing.
According to court records, from in or around 2023 to 2025, Yamamoto used online gaming and messaging applications to find and groom children located in the United States and in foreign countries to send him sexually explicit videos and images of themselves. Yamamoto misrepresented his age by posing as a teenager on gaming applications geared towards teens and preteens. He then offered and sent money and gifts to over ten children as payment for engaging in sexually explicit live stream video calls with him and for sending sexually explicit imagery of themselves at his direction.
Court records also show that Yamamoto exchanged tens of thousands of online messages with minors ranging in age from ten to seventeen years old, directing them to engage in specific sexually explicit conduct and to recreate images of explicit adult pornography that he had sent to them.
"The devastating harm Yamamoto inflicted on his numerous victims can never be undone, but his 22-year sentence sends a potent message that those who prey upon our children will face harsh penalties in federal court," said U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson, adding that his office, together with partners at the FBI, will continue to pursue child predators.
