印第安纳州男子跨州带走15岁少女并持有其不雅影像 被判15年监禁
美国司法部蒙大拿区联邦检察官办公室11月4日宣布，印第安纳州33岁男子 Brandon Cole Stoliby 被判处15年联邦监禁，其后另有10年监管释放。Stoliby 已于2026年7月认罪，罪名包括以从事非法性行为为目的跨州旅行，以及运输儿童色情材料。案件由联邦地区法官 Donald W. Molloy 主审，联邦检察官 Scott Twito 公布了判决。
根据政府在法庭文件中提出的指控，Stoliby 于2025年3月通过 Snapchat 结识一名15岁的蒙大拿州少女，对方自称18岁，双方其后交换了露骨信息与影像，这些影像后来在 Stoliby 被捕时从其手机中被查获。
2025年4月，双方约定由 Stoliby 前往蒙大拿州接走少女并带回其印第安纳州的家。Stoliby 于4月6日抵达蒙大拿州 Missoula County 并接走少女。执法人员其后将少女从其控制下解救，并明确告知他少女只有15岁；尽管如此，Stoliby 仍再次试图将少女带往印第安纳州，并保留了涉及少女的不雅影像。
Stoliby 被捕后向执法人员承认了交换影像等行为。此案由国土安全调查局（HSI）与 Missoula County 警长办公室联合调查，助理联邦检察官 Brian Lowney 负责公诉，案件属于司法部「保护儿童安全计划」（Project Safe Childhood）的组成部分。
Indiana Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Traveling to Montana to Exploit a 15-Year-Old Girl
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Montana announced on November 4 that Brandon Cole Stoliby, 33, of Indiana, was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release. Stoliby pleaded guilty in July 2026 to traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and to transportation of child pornography. U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided, and U.S. Attorney Scott Twito announced the sentence.
The government alleged in court documents that Stoliby met a 15-year-old Montana girl through Snapchat in March 2025. She presented herself as 18, and the two exchanged sexually explicit messages and images, which were later found on Stoliby's phone when he was arrested in Montana.
By April 2025 the two had made plans for Stoliby to travel to Montana to pick up the girl and take her back to his home in Indiana. He arrived in Missoula County on April 6, 2025, and picked the girl up from her home. Law enforcement removed the girl from Stoliby's custody and told him she was 15 years old. Despite this knowledge, Stoliby again tried to transport the girl to Indiana and retained explicit images depicting her.
Stoliby was eventually arrested and admitted in interviews with law enforcement to exchanging explicit images with the girl and keeping explicit photos she had sent him. Homeland Security Investigations and the Missoula County Sheriff's Department conducted the investigation, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Lowney prosecuted the case, and it was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood.
