俄亥俄州Brunswick男子被判监禁160个月：家中查获逾2万份儿童性虐待材料
位于美国俄亥俄州梅迪纳县的 Brunswick 市居民 Anree-Julian McKhoni 被联邦法院判处监禁160个月（约13年4个月）。美国司法部俄亥俄州北区联邦检察官办公室11月9日公布了这一量刑结果。
联邦地区法官 Solomon Oliver 作出上述判决。McKhoni 今年6月已就两项罪名认罪，分别是接收与分发真实未成年人性剥削影像，以及持有儿童色情材料。法院同时判令他在刑满后接受8年监督释放，并向《人口贩运受害者司法法》设立的基金缴纳1万美元，该基金用于为贩运受害者伸张正义。
检方说，执法人员在一个网络平台上调查疑似儿童性虐待材料活动时锁定了 McKhoni。2023年7月，执法人员持搜查令搜查他在梅迪纳县的住所，发现一套复杂的计算机设备并查扣电子设备作法证检验。检验发现，他持有逾2万份未成年人性剥削影像，其中逾3,000份涉及施虐或受虐性质的内容。检方还表示，调查发现他曾对至少5名未成年人实施过实质性侵害。
此案由联邦调查局（FBI）Akron 驻地办公室调查，助理联邦检察官 Jennifer J. King 代表俄亥俄州北区负责公诉。司法部说，此案属于「Project Safe Childhood」（保护儿童安全项目）的一部分，该项目由各联邦检察官办公室牵头，统筹联邦、州与地方资源，打击利用互联网剥削儿童的行为，并识别、解救受害者。

Ohio Man Sentenced to 160 Months in Prison: More Than 20,000 Child Sexual Abuse Images Found at His Home
Anree-Julian McKhoni, of Brunswick, a city in Medina County, Ohio, has been sentenced to 160 months (about 13 years and 4 months) in federal prison. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio announced the sentence on November 9.
U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver imposed the sentence. McKhoni pleaded guilty in June to receipt and distribution of visual depictions of real minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and to child pornography. He was also ordered to serve eight years of supervised release after imprisonment and to pay $10,000 toward the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act fund, established in 2015 to provide justice for victims of trafficking.
According to court documents and evidence, law enforcement investigating suspected child sexual abuse material activity on an online platform identified McKhoni. During a search warrant executed at his Medina County residence in July 2023, investigators discovered a sophisticated computer setup and seized electronic devices for forensic examination. Investigators found more than 20,000 visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including over 3,000 files of sadistic or masochistic conduct. Investigators also discovered that McKhoni had a history of hands-on sexual abuse of at least five minors, prosecutors said.
The investigation was led by the FBI's Akron Resident Agency. Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer J. King led the prosecution for the Northern District of Ohio. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices that marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, and to identify and rescue victims.
