A Youngstown man was sentenced to more than 37 years in
federal prison for taking still images of himself sexually assaulting a young
girl.
Daniel B. Fleischer, 37, previously pleaded guilty to sexual
exploitation of children and receipt and distribution of child pornography.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Boyko sentenced Fleischer to 447 months in
prison.
"This defendant committed horrible crimes against a
child and is being held accountable for his actions," U.S. Attorney Justin
E. Herdman said.
Fleischer sexually assaulted a minor in June 2011 and
produced a visual depiction of the act, according to court documents.
Fleischer also received and distributed multiple images of
children engaged in sexually explicit conduct, according to court documents.
The case was investigated by Task Force Officer Brenda Golec
of the FBI Task Force. This case is
being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Carol M. Skutnik.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of
guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair
trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt.
