Sioux Falls Man Sentenced for Possession of Child Pornography

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, man convicted of Possession of Child Pornography was sentenced on June 8, 2020, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.

Enoch Fields, age 38, was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Fields was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 4, 2019.  He pled guilty on March 5, 2020.

The conviction stemmed from incidents between October 28, 2018, and June 18, 2019, when Fields knowingly possessed and attempted to possess images of child pornography.  Fields admitted possessing child pornography images and video files on his cell phone and in his email account.  

This case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, the Sioux Falls Police Department, the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office, and the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper prosecuted the case.

Fields was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
