Overview
- U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie imposed 210 months in prison, 20 years of supervised release, $58,500 in restitution to eight victims, and lifetime sex-offender registration.
- May pleaded guilty in September to five counts of possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material after sharing the files hundreds of times, including recordings involving infants.
- Investigators said the Kik user “joebidennnn69” exchanged more than 1,100 messages and shared about 220 files of toddlers and young children from an IP address registered to May.
- Currie said the material was the most severe the court had seen, and Homeland Security Investigations said the sentence shows no one is above the law.
- Authorities also described videos in which May appeared to assault women in Colombia, investigators said they could not locate some people shown, and May apologized in court while citing past abuse and addiction.
