Sacramento, California criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with receipt of child pornography
Auburn Man Sentenced to 63 Months in Prison for Receipt of Child Pornography

Timothy Durel, 58, of Auburn, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller to five years and three months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release for receipt of child pornography, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, between 2012 and 2021, Durel uploaded and shared between email accounts hundreds of visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This included images of prepubescent children. When law enforcement searched Durel’s home in 2021, they seized electronic devices and found hundreds of additional images of child pornography.

This case was the product of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Yang prosecuted the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute those who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
