阿拉巴马州Grove Hill男子向未成年人发送电脑生成的儿童性虐待图像：获刑151个月，出狱后监管15年
美国阿拉巴马州克拉克县 Grove Hill：联邦检察官办公室阿拉巴马南区办公室10月26日宣布，27岁的 Chandler Broderick 因分发描绘儿童性虐待的淫秽图像，被判处151个月（约12年7个月）联邦监禁，刑满后另须接受15年监管释放。Broderick 已于2026年7月27日对该罪名认罪。
据检察官办公室公布，2024年8月，联邦调查局（FBI）接到匿名举报，称 Broderick 在网上骚扰未成年人。FBI 探员取得其网络账号内容后发现，他曾把电脑生成的、描绘儿童性虐待的淫秽卡通图像发送给未成年人。
联邦地区法院首席法官 Jeffrey U. Beaverstock 作出判决：Broderick 服刑期间须参加性犯罪者治疗与心理健康治疗，出狱后须登记为性犯罪者，并被禁止与未成年人接触；他另须支付200美元特别评估费。
联邦检察官 Sean P. Costello 表示，保护儿童免受网络侵害是该办公室的工作重点，任何利用互联网向未成年人展示描绘儿童性虐待淫秽材料的人都将被追究责任。FBI Mobile 办公室助理特工主管 Jordan Hadfield 表示，FBI 将不懈追查性侵害儿童者，此案的刑期显示了侵害弱势受害者的严重后果。
本案由 FBI 调查，助理联邦检察官 Kacey Chappelear 与 Tandice Blackwood 负责起诉。此案属于司法部2006年发起的全国性「儿童安全计划」（Project Safe Childhood），该计划统筹联邦、州与地方资源，打击儿童性剥削与虐待犯罪并解救受害者。
Alabama Man Sentenced to 151 Months for Sending Computer-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Images to Minors
Grove Hill, Clarke County, Alabama — A 27-year-old man was sentenced on October 26 to 151 months in federal prison for distributing obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Alabama announced. Chandler Broderick pleaded guilty to the offense on July 27, 2026, and will serve 15 years of supervised release after his prison term.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, in August 2024 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) received an anonymous tip alleging that Broderick was harassing minors online. FBI agents obtained the contents of Broderick's online accounts and discovered that he had sent computer-generated, obscene cartoon images depicting the sexual abuse of children to minors.
United States District Chief Judge Jeffrey U. Beaverstock imposed the sentence. During his imprisonment, Broderick will be required to participate in sex offender treatment and mental health treatment. Upon release, he will be required to register as a sex offender and will be prohibited from having contact with minors. He was also ordered to pay $200 in special assessments.
"Protecting children from online exploitation is a priority for this office, and those who use the internet to expose minors to obscene material depicting child sexual abuse will be held accountable," said U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello. Jordan Hadfield, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of FBI Mobile, said the FBI will pursue those who sexually exploit children relentlessly and that the sentence demonstrates the serious consequences of preying on vulnerable victims.
The FBI investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kacey Chappelear and Tandice Blackwood prosecuted it. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, the Department of Justice's nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
