分发儿童色情、设备藏数千份含婴幼儿内容,密歇根州男子被判121个月监禁

美国司法部密歇根东区联邦检察官办公室宣布,位于密歇根州奥克兰县的 Ferndale 市一名男子因分发儿童色情被判处121个月联邦监禁。48岁的 Brian Allen Rose 还被法院判令向其所分发影像中的九名受害者支付共25,000美元赔偿,并须登记为性犯罪者。
据法庭记录,Rose 曾与另一起联邦调查局(FBI)调查的对象交换儿童色情内容。2026年2月,FBI 探员持搜查令搜查 Rose 在 Ferndale 的住所,在其设备中查获数千份儿童色情视频与图片,其中包括涉及婴幼儿的内容。
记录还显示,Rose 的设备中存有多段加密通讯应用聊天记录,他与其他男子在其中谈论性侵儿童的意图以及交换儿童色情内容。
Rose 于2026年3月被控持有、接收与分发儿童色情三项罪名,并于2026年7月8日就分发儿童色情一项认罪。检方指出,接收与分发儿童色情属联邦重罪,初犯面临最低5年、最高20年的刑期。
联邦检察官 Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. 与 FBI 底特律外勤办公室主管 Jennifer Runyan 共同宣布了量刑。Gorgon 表示,被告以侵害毫无自卫能力的婴儿来满足自己的欲望,这项判决的每一天、每一美元赔偿他都罪有应得。Runyan 表示,交易儿童性虐待材料的人不是被动的旁观者,而是在助长对儿童的持续剥削,FBI 将坚决追查侵害儿童者。

Michigan Man Sentenced to 121 Months in Prison for Distributing Child Pornography
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced that a man from Ferndale, a city in Oakland County, Michigan, has been sentenced to 121 months in federal prison for distribution of child pornography. Brian Allen Rose, 48, was also ordered to pay $25,000 in restitution to nine victims whose images and videos he distributed and to register as a sex offender.
According to court records, Rose was trading child pornography with a subject of a separate FBI investigation. In February 2026, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Rose's home in Ferndale and located, on his devices, thousands of videos and images of child pornography, including material depicting infants and toddlers.
The records also show that Rose's devices contained multiple chats on encrypted messaging applications in which Rose and other men discussed their desire to sexually assault children and trade child pornography.
Rose was charged in March 2026 with possession, receipt, and distribution of child pornography, and he pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography on July 8, 2026. Prosecutors noted that receipt and distribution of child pornography are federal crimes carrying mandatory minimum penalties of at least five years and maximum penalties of up to 20 years for first-time offenders.
U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. was joined in the announcement by Jennifer Runyan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Detroit Field Division. Gorgon said the defendant fed his appetites by abusing defenseless babies and deserved every day and every dollar of the sentence. Runyan said those who trade in child sexual abuse material are not passive observers but are fueling the continued exploitation of children, and that the FBI will relentlessly pursue those who victimize children.
