OWENSBORO, Ky. – A Beaver Dam man was sentenced yesterday to 235 months in prison, followed by a 10-year term of supervised release for distribution and possession of child pornography, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Kentucky.
The release stated that Freddie Fulton, 41, of Beaver Dam used a messaging application to upload an image of child pornography.
After identifying Fulton, law enforcement searched his phone and found 286 images and 25 videos of child pornography. Fulton’s laptop also contained images of child pornography, and the investigation found Fulton created some images by misrepresenting his identity and engaging in sexual acts with a victim.
Officers sent the materials found on Fulton’s electronic devices to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for victim identification, resulting in the identification of numerous image and video files involving known child sexual abuse material.
Altogether, Fulton’s collection included victims from 21 identified child pornography series from around the world, including Germany, Lithuania, Moldova, the Netherlands, Russia, Slovenia, Ukraine and the United States.
