SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Webster City man has been sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison for receiving and distributing child pornography, federal prosecutors for Iowa said.
Kevin Eugene Dill, 56, was sentenced Feb. 26 to 169 months in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa said in a news release. There is no parole in the federal system.
Dill pleaded guilty in October to single counts of distribution of child pornography and receipt of child pornography. As part of his plea, Dill admitted that between March 2012 and June 2020, he knowingly received thousands of images and videos of child pornography.
Prosecutors said that in September 2017, Dill shared child pornography with an undercover FBI agent. When officers conducted a search of his home the next month, prosecutors said, Dill admitted to receiving child pornography.
Despite being confronted, Dill continued to access child pornography, using PayPal to buy it from a Chinese website, prosecutors said. Dill was arrested last June and again admitted to accessing child pornography, prosecutors said.
