CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTO) – A Chatham County man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to receiving images of child sexual abuse.

David Johnathan Perry, 43, was sentenced to more than eight years in federal prison.

The Task Force received multiple CyberTip reports identifying child sexual abuse material stored on a Google account registered to Perry’s residence.

Investigators searched the residence and electronic devices where they found thousands of images and videos depicting child pornography.

“Every time one of these images is shared or viewed, it re-victimizes an innocent child and causes the healing process to begin again, which is why it is so important to stop those who traffic in these disturbing images of abuse,” said Steven N. Schrank, acting special actor. agent in charge of Homeland Security Atlanta.

Anyone with information about suspected child sexual exploitation can contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 800-843-5678.
