Man Sentenced To 10 Years For Transmitting Child Pornography Over The Internet
A Kettering man was sentenced yesterday to 10 years in prison for transmitting child pornography, announced Gregory G. Lockhart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Brian Moskowitz, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Detroit.
Donald Witt, 51, was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Walter H. Rice to 121 months of imprisonment, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for transmitting images of child sexual exploitation over the Internet. Witt’s sentence also requires him to register as a sexual offender upon his release from prison. Judge Rice ordered that Witt serve his sentence in a Bureau of Prisons facility that provides treatment for sexual offenders.
Witt pleaded guilty on July 6 to transporting materials involving the sexual exploitation of a minor. According to a statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Witt owned a computer and a webcam in March 2004 and visited Internet chat rooms using the screen name “curiousdaytonman.” Witt chatted with others about sexually explicit activities involving children and viewed images of child pornography. During these Internet conversations, Witt tried to convince others to show children to him over their webcams. Read more at ice.gov.
