Detroit Man Sentenced to 174 Months in Federal Prison for Coercion, Enticement and Child Pornography
In Toledo, a city in Lucas County, Ohio, a federal court sentenced Brett Tooman, 40, of Detroit, Michigan, to 174 months in prison, about 14 and a half years. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio announced the sentence, which was imposed by U.S. District Judge James R. Knepp II.
Tooman had pleaded guilty to four charges: coercion or enticement of a minor, travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, transportation of child pornography, and receipt and distribution of child pornography. In addition to prison, he was ordered to serve 25 years of supervised release, pay $37,500 in restitution, and pay $5,000 toward the fund established by the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act.
According to court documents, law enforcement investigating suspected child sexual abuse material activity on an online platform identified Tooman. He communicated online with an undercover agent who purportedly had minor children, expressed a strong desire to meet the children in person for sexual activity, and, after explicit communications, went to a pre-arranged meeting location, where officers immediately took him into custody.
The case was investigated by the FBI Toledo Resident Agency's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force and the Toledo Police Department, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sara Al-Sorghali and Alissa Sterling as part of Project Safe Childhood.
