A US man has been sentenced to 87 months in prison for receipt of child
pornography via a peer-to-peer network.
David Leroy Knellinger Sr, 60, pleaded guilty before the US District Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia to one count of receiving child
pornography.
US District Judge Robert Payne also ordered Knellinger to pay a $15,000 fine
and serve five years of supervised release following his prison term.
Knellinger admitted to using iMesh peer-to-peer software to obtain three
videos depicting child pornography.
In a related incident, the child victim in one video has been identified by
law enforcement officers and her alleged abuser, Kenneth Freeman, was a fugitive
on the 15 Most Wanted list of the US Marshal's Service.
Freeman was arrested in Hong Kong in May and is currently contesting
extradition proceedings.
The investigation of Knellinger was conducted by the FBI and arose from an
investigation conducted by the US Postal Inspection Service.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Brian Hood for the
Eastern District of Virginia and Trial Attorney Alexandra Gelber for the Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Criminal Division.
