A Washington man has been sentenced to more than 13 years in prison for receiving child pornography through Facebook.
31 year old Eric Ingram of Washington was sentenced Tuesday, August 20 in federal court. Ingram will also be on supervised release for eight years when he is released from prison, according to a release from the Central District of Illinois.
In 2018, the Washington Police Department was alerted by Facebook of messages between Ingram and a 15-year-old child that contained sexually explicit content.
The minor victim was interviewed and confirmed that Ingram requested she perform sexually explicit conduct and take visual depictions of that conduct to send to him on Facebook.
Ingram was arrested on October 4, 2018 when Washington police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at his residence in Washington and seized several items of electronic media.
