Description:
Blue Grass Man Sentenced to 216 Months in Federal Prison for Possession of Child Pornography
A Blue Grass man was sentenced to 216 months in federal prison for producing child pornography.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received CyberTips that an account, later determined to be associated with Christian Brew Allen, 58, received, uploaded, and distributed files containing child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement seized electronic devices during a search of Allen’s Blue Grass residence. A forensic examination of the seized electronic devices showed that Allen used the devices to receive, upload, and distribute more than 2000 images and 175 videos containing child sexual abuse material. The investigation revealed that Allen produced and saved several videos of a minor victim.
After completing his term of imprisonment, Allen will be required to serve an eight-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Allen was also ordered to pay $97,000 in restitution.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement. This case was investigated by Scott County Sheriff’s Office.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
