Iowa Man Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison for Receiving and Possessing Child Sexual Abuse Material
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa announced that Kristopher Jacob Stoker, 24, of Long Grove, Iowa, was sentenced on November 12 to 15 years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material.
According to public court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received CyberTips that an account, later determined to be associated with Stoker, had received files containing child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement seized electronic devices during a search of Stoker's Long Grove residence, and a forensic examination showed that he had used the devices to receive, view, and possess images and videos containing child sexual abuse material.
After completing his prison term, Stoker will be required to serve a seven-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. He was also ordered to pay $37,000 in restitution and a $1,000 AVAA assessment.
United States Attorney David C. Waterman made the announcement, and the Scott County Sheriff's Office investigated the case. The Justice Department said the case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the exploitation of children over the internet and to identify and rescue victims.
