A Louisville man faces 75 years in federal prison after being sentenced for nine counts of child exploitation on Tuesday.
Quinnton Dawson, 35, was convicted by a federal jury in March following a week-long trial. He was convicted of three counts of sexual exploitation of children, two counts of receiving child pornography, two counts of distributing child pornography, one count of possessing child pornography, and one count of committing a felony against a child while required to register as a sex offender.
Federal prosecutors said Dawson used his Yahoo email account in July 2022 to send and receive child sexual abuse material while on shock probation for a previous child pornography conviction.
Prosecutors allege Dawson recorded sexual acts with a 4-year-old girl. Nothing will replace the innocence that Dawson stole from these young children through his heinous actions,” said U.S. Attorney Kyle Bumgarner. “These victims will never have to worry about being harmed by Dawson again because he will now serve out his remaining days behind bars at a federal prison.”
There is no parole in the federal prison system.
